The Caravan Club Site at Pembrey Country Park, near llanelli in South Wales is within Walking Distance (5 mins) of a dry ski slope. Fantastc site, probably the best Caravan Club Site we have stayed on too.
Has masses to do and a blue flag beach too should you fancy a dip. Entry is free if you walk or bike ( LONG walks though- bikes are a must) or a small charge if you want to drive in
A really nice CC site open to non-members at Carrville near Durham City junction A690 north, within quarter of a mile of A1M, Travel towards Sunderland on A690 dual carriage-way approx. 6/7 is miles Silksworth Dry Ski Slope on your right. The site has some fine walks down to the river, also not far from a realy beautifull city.

Can't believe there are so many. Thanks so much everyone I've noted down all suggestions for when we are ready to book. My son can't wait to try it, trouble is he then wants to take the caravan to aviemore and ski for real. Don't know if I fancy it, probably going to be freezing.
Thanks again
I'll probably get hassle for saying this, but when the weather is good (bad) enough for there to be decent skiing at aviemore, you want to be staying in a nice warm hotel !
Go skiing somewhere they have snow because of the altitude, not cos its near the north pole
Hi Tom,
Guess what yesterday I booked for my hubby and son to ski at scotland and yes I did book them in a hotel. Me and Emily our 4 yr old are staying at home though. It's a surprise christmas pressie so hope they are pleased. Tues-Fri going day after boxing day. Hotel has spa and jaccuzzi so they'll be able to defrost in the evenings.
------------- With love Donna xx

First time I took my wife skiing was at Aviemore - the hotel we stayed had all the jacuzzi, sauna and stuff, so despite the wind, rain, flying lumps of ice (which is what they call snow there) she had a good time; more to the point she's still up for skiing.
Been going with our kids (now 8 & 12) for the last 4 yrs but stick to France.
Dunno why discussing this in here really. I definately reckon that camping and skiing really don't mix :-), unless you hit the dry slopes in the summer.
BTW, the Great Orme dry slope in Llandudno is a good one. We spent some time there while up in Snowdonia. Have to watch out for the grazing sheep though (seriously). I think they have a toboggan run there too.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
