Clear filters Lovely place to stay
Large Tent - Plus Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely place to stay. Beautiful surrounding views, very friendly staff and clean and tidy amenities. My only critique is that the swimming pool is not staffed so there were kids jumping all over the place. Other than that, can't wait to come again soon.
We had a lovely stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Site has plenty to offer nearby, enjoyed by all of us.
Cheddar Gorge-ous!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Friendly welcome on arrival, very very clean facilities with everything you need, including the use of a freezer to re-freeze your freezer pack if needed. Shop is well stocked, the food is nice and the bar is very well priced. All in all, I would come back.
Friendly helpful staff, clean facilities Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Nice park for families. We stayed in a tent and the amenities were good.
Entertainment on an evening, but not enough tables or seats for everyone. Swimming pool was nice, basic. Food in the pub was ok.
Clean toilets, showers etc, which is nice.
Great location.
Very nice and clean campsite
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Very nice and clean campsite. Staff helpful and nice, main shower and toilet block was clean. The only downfall was the pegs were really hard to get into the ground due to all the stones.
Perfect for families
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 We stayed at Bucklegrove for 2 nights and it was fantastic. Camp site is just stunning - you are surrounded by stunning scenery and greenery!
Checking in was easy - given our pitch, a map, explained where the facilities are, times for things, etc. Easy peasy!
We pitched up - our children (9 and 6) were able to run off to the play area to make their weekend camping friends whilst we sorted out all our stuff.
Location - We chose to stay at Bucklegrove because of the location to Cheddar Gorge - this was our BIG day out on day 2. And what a day out it was! Make sure to pack plenty of food, drink and wear your decent walking shoes! Not recommended for children under 6 - it really is a biiiiiig trek!
Cleanliness - Clean facilities, no complaints here at all!
Facilities - Small pool (which we didn't use) - ideal for a quick play. Play area, our boys loved this. It is on the smaller side but kids being kids, they will make the most out of anything. The Lodge was absolutely lovely - great, friendly staff, nice selection of food and drink.
On the whole, we enjoyed it so much that we tried to stay for a 3rd night, but our pitch was being used the next day.
Friendly site Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Really nice, friendly site. Both us and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great views, lovely, friendly staff who were super helpful. l unfortunately was let down by the constant barking day and night from the local rescue centre.
Great location, a little tired but overall a good stay! Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 A great location about 15 minutes from Cheddar (as you turn right out of the campsite) local pub serving good food as you turn left out of the camp site.
Great fruit and veg stalls along the road highly recommend stopping for some strawberries and potatoes!
The campsite is fairly compact with a shop, pub serving food and a swimming pool. The pool was a little over crowded and it felt a little odd to use the same toilets to change in as the bar customers use!
We stayed in Tor View - pitch up in a patch of your choice, no dogs allowed. However, we were next to a large family that didn't seem to have much respect for the quieter hours - playing music and talking loudly after hours - this was a little anti-social and inconsiderate.
The showers and toilets although a little tired looking are clean enough and not far from the camp areas.
Overall, a great base for exploring the local area.
Summer '23
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Great location. Pool was great for younger ones and perfectly adequate, but cleanliness needs work, as do change facilities. However, toilet block is absolutely fantastic, especially if bringing younger ones or if pregnant/have a disability. Really spacious, wide doorways and cubicles and so much room. Best toilet facilities I've seen in terms of space and how it's laid out. Fantastic. Made such a difference.
Nice enough
Large Tent - Plus Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Campsite toilets at top were a bit dated and the muddy weather meant that they weren't the most clean. However the toilets and showers at the bottom/ entrance were much better.
Good singer on Saturday and it's nice to be able to take your dog into the bar area.
The disabled toilet needs modernising and better facilities. The top washing up area could do with some matting to prevent the slippery mud. The water for showers could also be hotter.
If you want a small campsite that has good entertainment and a swimming pool and park, at a reasonable price, with a well kept camping field, then you will enjoy Bucklegrove. it suited our purpose and was vey close to some lovely days out.
Would go again
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 The only thing I can say is the grass was too long in the camping field.
An amazing family run respectful and quiet place
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 The staff were so helpful and friendly, we actually stayed an extra night as it was perfect.
We would totally recommend here and stay again. A small, quiet and clean place with amazing helpful and friendly staff. I was travelling alone with a child and felt totally safe.
On arrival we had been caught in traffic, so was a little late, but they were so flexible and understanding. Excellent.
Perfect
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 This is a wonderful campsite, the staff are friendly and welcoming.
The facilities are great and the whole site including the shower/toilet blocks were always clean. The site is located centrally to all of the attractions that we wanted to visit (Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Wells and Bath).
I would highly recommend this site.
Great family site
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Great friendly park, with great views.
Family-friendly, with a park and pool.
Our meal was lovely and great portion size.
A great stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 It would be nice to have an hour or more after the family swimming time, just for adults only - maybe 6pm till 8pm.
Great stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2023 A real lovely family feel, would definitely return.
Nice little site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2023 Nice site, good facilities. Will be back.
Cheddar retreat
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2023 Nice peaceful site, only a short drive to Cheddar or Wells.
Plenty of room for a van and awning.
Nice walk just outside the park, unfortunately, no pavement so would not advise walking from the entrance to local destinations, although there is a bus route.
Nice, friendly touring site
Twin Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2023 Grounds kept in general good condition.
Shower rooms need some cosmetic attention with painting etc, but generally clean tidy. Swimming pool changing rooms need attention on a regular basis as rather dirty on the floors due to not being cleaned throughout the daytime whilst in uses.
Driveway needs attention as not good for moving caravans due to large pot holes.
Amazing welcome and fabulous service
Motorhome - Plus Grass Pitches Mar 2023 Arrived to such a warm welcome and amazing customer service. Very clean and friendly, lovely site with everything you need. Great facilities and people. Strongly recommend!
Lovely stay but no near pubs!
Motorhome - Plus Grass Pitches Mar 2023 Kids loved the pool, but sadly this was the only site in our 8 day trip (staying at 8 different sites) where the nearby pub and restaurant was closed on the day we arrived. It is not open all the time so would recommend checking before.
Our pitch was muddy and we couldn't get the motorhome on it due to skidding, but we moved to a gravel pitch and the receptionist was very helpful.
Stay was pleasant enough VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Feb 2023 We were a bit disappointed with the location of our pitch. The swimming pool was ok, maybe not a clean as hoped. Facilities were a bit dated, but there were warm showers and these were pretty clean.
Park was enjoyed by my daughter, but was covered in bird mess, could be cleaned off a bit more frequently. Didn't venture to the bar so can't comment. Staff seemed friendly. Walks straight from the site great for dogs.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, mostly as the location was so great for local attractions.
Peaceful
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches Feb 2023 Convenient location for Mendip sightseeing, quiet at night (no road noise).
A drive over the grey waste drain. It would be useful for a campervan.
Great
Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches Jan 2023 The only thing it was missing for us was a field for exercising the dog. Although I may have just missed it, I couldn't find one.
Lovely place
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches Jan 2023 Lovely place. Stayed for 2 nights. Unfortunately the restaurant, games room and bar was closed, which was a pity, but I look forward to coming back soon when these facilities are open. Clean showers and toilets. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely place to stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Oct 2022 Lovely place to stay, washrooms and toilets clean and lovely, friendly staff. Very nice views and so welcoming, will definitely be returning in the Summer as we had really bad weather. The campsite was well maintained, and the shop always had stock, which we visited a few times, cannot wait to book again.
