A tranquil site in the Mendip Hills AONB, Mendip Ski Camp will be a big hit with activity fans. It's spacious and perfect for families, small groups and pooches looking for a relaxed break. Campfires and BBQs are welcome. Hone your skills on the dry ski slope at the centre next door, whizz by on a toboggan, try archery, watersports, abseiling and more (book in advance with the centre). In the village is a good pub and Thatchers Cider Farm.

A peaceful back-to-basics site nestled in the Mendip Hills AONB

About Mendip Ski Camp

Looking for a holiday with lots to do? This handy base has loads of walking and cycling trails and is a modest drive from beaches (30 mins from the coast with Weston-super-Mare a popular seaside option) and more. It's both easily accessible and secluded, with a well maintained, scenic feel and village amenities close by. Neighbouring woodland is packed with wildlife for the kids to spot. Two large fields offer pitches set on grass without electric, to suit tents and small campervans only. Walkers will be keen to take on the Strawberry Line, the excellent Mendip Way and the challenge of long and short routes at Cheddar Gorge.

Mendip Ski Camp is open from 25/03 to 30/10.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan PitchesMar 2024

We had our first overnight stay in our new van here and we're really pleased with everything! The campsite was nice and quiet - it was very wet weather, which was fine for our van but there was the option to utilise the car park too which was nice. Owner was great and had great recommendations for things to do - they even left eggs at our pitch as we were there over Easter. My only note would be to have communal hand soap in the loos - we'd bought our own shower gel and shampoo but assumed there would be hand soap. Otherwise, great location, great shower and loo facilities with hot water. Would recommend as a simple, easy campsite. Our little dog being allowed was a bonus!

What a great little place to stay

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2023

Great location and easy to find Value for money. It is what you expect, a place to pitch and toilet/shower running water and sink for washing up. You can't help getting grass in the toilet/shower block due to weather, but overall very clean.
