  • Well-maintained and peaceful campsite next to Mendip Activity Centre
  • A mile from Sandford village centre; Cheddar Gorge 15 minutes' drive
  • Family-friendly site in an area of outstanding natural beauty
Whether you're looking for snowsports in Somerset or just somewhere green and quiet to stay, pitch by the pistes at Mendip Ski Camp, a peaceful rural spot next to Mendip Activity Centre in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This spacious and friendly site welcomes families, small groups and well-behaved dogs for laidback holidays on its green and grassy field. The site is easily accessible but secluded, with a wide range of adventurous activities and local amenities within a short walk. Facilities here include a cabin with hot showers and toilets; campfires and barbecues are permitted too. As well as the dry ski slope next door, the on-site activity centre organises watersports, archery, frisbee golf and abseiling (book in advance via the centre's website), while a mile away in Sandford village centre you have access to a pub, a kids' playground, footpaths and Thatchers Cider Farm. This is a scenic location with nearby woodlands and plenty of wildlife to spot, including deer, foxes and buzzards. Nearby walks of note include the Strawberry Line, the Mendip Way and strolls around Cheddar Gorge, while for coastal capers Weston-super-Mare and the Somerset coast are half an hour away by road.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its excellent, quiet location and the exceptionally friendly and welcoming owners. Visitors consistently highlight the cleanliness and quality of the toilet and shower blocks, noting plentiful hot water. Many appreciate the spacious pitches, ease of pitching, and good WiFi. While some mention ongoing site improvements, a few note limitations with the number of facilities. The proximity to pubs, shops, and an activity centre is also a draw. Addressing a rare security concern, the manager clarified access procedures.

Non-electric grass and gravel campervan pitch

Liked Lovely, peaceful site with no road noise, tucked away and surrounded by trees. The owner was wonderful and gave us great recommendations for local pubs and shops. The site itself was very clean, and the shower and toilet blocks were excellent. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely rebook!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Loved this more personal campsite, especially having space between pitches, rather than a ‘festival’ feel of all being rammed in.

Disliked Could possibly do with just another toilet area.

Local attractions

For après-ski with a West Country twist, head five minutes' drive down the road to Thatchers Cider Farm for orchard tours, trips to the on-site farm shop and the chance to try a good few ciders while you're at it. For an accompaniment to your drinks, head into Cheddar (15 minutes' drive), home of the selfsame cheese, where there are two delis plus a range of family-friendly pubs, restaurants and cafés. If that combination of fine food and drink leaves you feeling a bit lethargic, dust yourself off and take to the walks around Cheddar Gorge (15 minutes) for fresh air and sweeping views over the Mendip Hills, or drive a bit further afield to take on Glastonbury Tor (40 minutes) and look down to the pretty market town below. More historic buildings like those in Glastonbury are on display in Wells (30 minutes), a pint-sized city with a gorgeous cathedral deep in the Somerset countryside. There's also Bristol (40 minutes) and Bath (an hour) to visit if you fancy more urban explores, while for more countrified days out there's the top-rated Somerset Rural Life Museum (35 minutes).
