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.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: None

Disliked: Rubbish around tents, unkept grass and surroundings.
No communication, arrived at the site and drove in. Saw mess from previous camper around tent on clean, beer cans etc.
Rang phone number on arrival and no answer and not even a call back. Ended up have to find another site to stay at and wasted £90

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately we did not get to see you as we did not meet you or see you on site and did not have any communication from you.

We had other families camping at the site during that time who managed to access the site and who we met on their arrival. They respected the campsite and didn’t litter the area.

I am concerned that you may have gone to the wrong site, perhaps a nearby site, as your comments do not tally with our site and we did not see you on the site.

For the benefit of any future guests - we are a clean and well kept campsite with clean shower and toilet facilities with hot water. We offer free Wi-Fi, hardstandings for campervans and motorhomes.

Simple, easy campsite, nice for a night stop over with pleasant staff

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).
