This family friendly campsite is not only located in the picture-perfect Mendip Hills AONB, but is a walker's paradise, with the Strawberry Line, Mendip Way and the various routes at Cheddar Gorge all nearby. If cycling is more your bag, this site doubles as a fantastic base to explore some popular Mendip cycle paths, like the Butcombe Loop. For the thrill seekers amongst you, this site is located next door to a popular ski and outdoor activity centre. There is a dry slope for those looking to dust off their skis, as well as the chance to take on archery, frisbee, golf and even water sports! Two large fields offer pitches set on grass without electric. There are a wide range of pitches suitable for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. There are also non-electric hardstanding pitches available, suitable for campervans and motorhomes. It is not just adventure this site is known for, but its' scenic location.

Just a mile away from the quaint village of Standford, you can even treat yourself to a drink at Thatcher's Cider Farm. Campfires and BBQs are permitted, and your furry friends are more than welcome to join you!

Received a warm welcome on arrival. We were one of the first to try one of their newly installed hard standing pitches and they were great. Really convenience for the activity centre, lovely a quiet site, and the facilities were great (lovely powerful shower)

Lovely, quiet, small, simple, friendly campsite with everything you need for a relaxing get-away. Pricey for what it is, but it's small, so fair enough!
