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 is a quiet, relaxed campsite with friendly, helpful hosts and plenty of pitching space. Visitors highlight the clean, well-maintained toilet and shower blocks with good hot water. The location is praised for its proximity to local amenities, pubs, and walking routes, as well as being a convenient stop-off point from the motorway. While some noted a limited number of facilities, upgrades are being made, and the site is considered good value. A few minor issues, such as Wi-Fi connectivity and occasional ground conditions, were noted but generally resolved.

Liked Lovely small campsite. We stayed for one night in our van. The showers were hot, the were toilets clean, there aren’t any other facilities other than a sink for water but that was all we needed. Would stay here again if we are in the area

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Another great stay at Mendip Ski Camp. Campsite owners are so lovely and welcoming. Easy to reach out to if necessary. Toilet block is amazing with a lovely hot shower. Quiet, relaxing area. No rush to leave the campsite on day of check out which is always a bonus. A short walk to a lovely little cosy English pub in Churchill. What more could you ask for? I will definitely be back again in the summer.

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).
