  • Small, level touring park in Banwell at the foot of the Mendip Hills
  • Two miles from the M5 and five from Weston-Super-Mare
  • Plenty of open space and spectacular views
As the owners of Myrtle Farm Holidays rightly point out, its setting at the foot of Somerset's Mendip Hills means there's something here for all sorts. Weston-super-Mare is only five miles away, hilly hikes are on the doorstep, and within a quick drive you'll be at famed Somerset and Wiltshire spots like Cheddar Gorge, Bristol and Bath, Stonehenge, Longleat and anciently idiosyncratic Glastonbury. Its semi-rural location a mile from the village of Banwell has it easily accessible too: Junction 21 of the M5 and Worle train station are both two miles away and Bristol airport within 11 miles. Under new ownership since 2016, Myrtle Farm is a family-run, small and level touring park, welcoming families and adults, and facing south with excellent views. It's well maintained and spacious with plenty of room for kids to run around. Amenities were updated in 2019 and include a rebuilt shower and toilet block with underfloor heating and disabled facilities, and a new kitchen with a washing machine and tumble dryer, all spotlessly kept and supplied with soap, shower gel and shampoo. A wifi hotspot can be accessed by the amenities. Village pubs, shops, restaurants, takeaways, a post office and a castle (cream teas in the summer, anyone?) are all a mile away at the farm's local village of Banwell.

Field 1 powered grass caravan site (small)

Liked: Clean and tidy doesnt even come close, its immaculate! Great communication and incredibly reasonably priced.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Road noise if it's bothersome but 10 mins from motorway what do you expect? It's easily tuned out. The sheep make more (pleasant) noise 🤣

Trevor T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Field 1 powered grass caravan site (small)

Liked: Myrtle Farm Campsite is well run by the owner and staff.
Large plots with or without electric at very competitive prices.
Grounds are well maintained and the toilet - shower block and utility room were immaculate and cleaned twice a day by someone with top class attention to detail, even have complementary shower gel.
Location is remote which was fine, distant hum from M5 and local roads seemed popular with speed freaks although it didn't stop us from walking to the village.
All in we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.

Disliked: We found nothing to dislike about the site

Tom C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Field 1 powered grass site (medium)

Liked: Loved the small picturesque campsite that was lovely and neat (beautiful even). We were lucky enough to enjoy on a hot summary week. Best facilities I’ve seen camping in a while! The owners had put lots of information together about the local area. On our last day we went to Uphill which we completely recommend especially if you have a dog. Pitches were a great size.

Disliked: Couldn’t find recycling. Not many places to walk your dog straight off the campsite so be prepared to drive. (Obviously not at the fault of the campsite but just be aware.) there was a small dog field for a quick morning toilet stop.

Local attractions

The Myrtle Farm Holidays setting at the foot of the Mendip Hills has it perfectly placed for outdoorsy days, with a vast pick of walks, cycle routes, fishing and birdwatching within easy distance. By car, Cheddar village and the famed and fab Cheddar Gorge are very close by, as is the teeny city of Wells with its cathedral and independent shops. The National Trust-managed Victorian Gothic house of Tyntesfield is ten miles away. Another cracking option is Glastonbury, with its independent shops and cafés, museums, Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor. The golden sandy beaches, seaside shops and wide range of restaurants and bars at Weston-Super-Mare, Brean and Burnham-on-Sea are all within a short drive. You'll also be within easy driving distance of the cities of Bristol and Bath and their shopping, theatres, cinemas, museums, bars and restaurants. Travel a little further to get to Wiltshire, where must-sees include Stonehenge and Longleat.
