  • 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.

What customers say

Top marks for spotless, modern ablutions! Owners and staff get rave reviews for being so friendly and helpful. Pitches are spacious and level. Dog owners love the dedicated area. Some noise from the road, and not many nearby walks, but generally peaceful.

Chris T.

Field 2 non-electric grass pitch

Liked Owner was very friendly on arrival.
Campsite is flat, level and immaculately well kept (I even saw a groundsman brushing the grass with a dustpan and brush).
The showers and toilets were spotless every time.
Great location.

Disliked The non electric pitches are right next to the main road, it’s not hugely noisy after dark but it’s a fairly busy road in the morning so we did get woken early.
No real WiFi to speak of and poor phone signal.

Jamie R.

Field 2 non-electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutely everything about this campsite was amazing. From the welcome we got to the pitches the cleanliness of the wash rooms the location and value for money plus we got offered to move to a quieter part of the campsite without having to ask.

Disliked Only bad point not for us as it didn't seem to bother us was one row of the tents is next to a main road but like I said didn't seem to bother us

Field 2 electric grass pitch (XL)

Liked A fab site that is very convenient to get to. The facilities were well maintained and clean. Lovely hot showers. Check in was easy. The biggest bonus for us was the little dog area, where our pup could enjoy her Zoomies!

Hannah B.

Field 2 non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely little site with helpful, friendly owner to greet us on arrival. Parked in a non EHU pitch, great value at £17 for the night. Pitched backed onto the road, with hedge in between. Some road noise but didn’t bother us in the slightest. Lovely level pitch.

Clean facilities, even had plenty of plug points for hairdryers etc but didn’t use those. Showers were fab and no push button, which is always a joy!

Saved and added to favourites as I’m sure we will stay again.

Disliked Nothing

Field 2 electric grass pitch (XL)

Liked Large size pitch.
Very clean.
Good toilet facilities.

Disliked Next to a main road. Not possible to walk to nearby village or give a dog a proper walk.
Pitches go round in a circle so everyone just stares at each other.
No wifi.

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.
