  • 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 a National Landscape; campfires permitted
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 National Landscape. 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 peaceful, clean, and well-kept campground has friendly, helpful owners. Showers and toilets get lots of praise for cleanliness and good hot water. Sites are flat and spacious. While mostly positive, some found limited toilets/showers and pricey firewood. Wi-Fi and cell service were spotty. Good value for a quiet escape.

Primitive grass and gravel campervan campsite

Liked Peaceful setting, basic but that's what I like. Hot showers, quiet and lovely owners! Would come again. If you are after a lively place with all the facilities this is not the campsite. This is for quiet, relaxing and enjoying peace

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).
