The oldest family-run park in the Cheddar valley
Between Wells and Cheddar with spectacular valley and hill views
Licensed café and shop, indoor pool, paddling pool and games room

This Somerset site will have you breaking out in cheesy grins: stunning views of the Cheddar valley and Mendip Hills, spankingly clean amenities and a café with sun terrace where you can watch the kids whirling around the play park…it’s all gouda. Lying between Wells and Cheddar, family-friendly Bucklegrove Caravan & Camping Park is the oldest family-run park in the Cheddar valley and is set up for all ages in mind: as well as the play park and the family-friendly licensed café, the log cabin with indoor pool also comes with a smaller pool for mini cheddars, at no extra cost. A games room with pool table is also on site. For grownup concerns, Bucklegrove has a licensed shop, fully-equipped coin launderette and free use of the ice block freezer; there’s free hot water for dishwashing and showers, and separate family bathrooms and full-sized baths available for a nominal extra charge. The site has good mobile phone coverage and free wifi across throughout if you need to stay in touch or upload pictures of the views to Facebook. A pub is within a couple of miles; Bucklegrove is 15–20 minutes from Wells, Cheddar and Weston-super-Mare for pubs and restaurants further afield (a bus stop is just outside the park entrance for those getting about under their own steam).

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Our berghaus 400 set up but the neighbour nicked a bit of our pitch with their car.

View from our pitch to opposite pitch. girls couldn’t play bay and ball or football

Looking at the view from one of the grove pitches.

Very good site, few let downs.

Grove electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked: Easily accessible, things to do near by. Good recommendations and information provided, good pitch size. Options on site. Dog friendly & dog walk on site. Can park by pitch.

Disliked: 2 dogs off lead that ran up to mine. Mine was on a stake lead in the ground and this caused a bit of tension. Although it says dogs must be on lead’s at all times this wasn’t the case. Was a shame.
Children on the site caused a few issues (parents fault), they seemed to be year round not campers.

Cabin (pet friendly)

Liked: We love the location of the site and the atmosphere. Busy but pleasant. We enjoyed a meal at the Lodge with entertainment provided by a singer, Louise who was very good. It was our third visit to Bucklegrove and hopefully not our last!

Disliked: Not many places to walk the dogs - last time we came, the neighbouring field was used for dog walking but is now no dogs allowed.

Cabin (pet friendly)

Liked: The site was very clean and tidy everywhere. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our cabin was cosy, clean and had nearly everything you would need.
We will definitely be back again. We brought our grandson with us and he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Disliked: The only thing that was missing in the cabin was spoons to eat cereals, we managed to eat our Rice Krispies with a teaspoon but took a little while.

Liked: Wifi is good which I'd struggled with everywhere else.

Disliked: Was too busy for us lots of tents and kids running round and loads of campers and caravans was a bit overwhelming it being so busy I'd avoid in the busy months. We actually left after a few hours and decided to go home.

Strawberry Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great location between Cheddar and Wells. Lovely welcome on arrival and simple booking in system. Very clean facilities close to pitch. Pool was open and clean. Lodge (bar restaurant) opened at 4pm with tables inside and outside (right next to park so lots of parents enjoying some leisure time). Good service and adult meals were very good (usual pub food selection). Lovely little play park.
Quiet site from 10-8ish. I slept well!

Disliked: Pitch was small (neighbour took part as they didn’t understand the trees marked the pitch areas). Ground unbelievably hard. Children’s food contained what tasted like reheated mash and undercooked inedible peas - some rock hard. No large areas for kids to play so no ball games possible really.

Local attractions

Bucklegrove is only a few miles away from two Somerset absolute must-sees: the spectacular Wookey Hole Caves and home of the Witch of Wookey for spellbinding shenanigans, and the Cheddar Caves and Gorge for would-be smugglers, adventure story fans and historyheads. The Cheddar Gorge is deep in records: it’s the largest gorge in the country, has the biggest colony of endangered greater horseshoe bats and is the discovery site of Cheddar Man, the oldest complete human skeleton found in Britain and a name you'll want to say in a dramatically deep superhero’voice; find out about him and his ancestors in the caves’ Museum of Prehistory. Outdoors around the gorge, there are the 274 steps of the Lookout Tower to puff up for sweeping Somerset views, and a clifftop walk and open-top bus tour. Apart from witchy and subterranean goings-on, holidaymakers in this corner of the country will find gardens, history, farm parks, theme parks, beaches and more within easy reach and other main Somerset attractions like Bristol and Bath within an hour’s drive. Glastonbury with its abbey and tor is less than half an hour away, and medieval Wells, Britain’s second smallest city (that’s four now) has a thirteenth century cathedral and bishop’s palace complete with moat. Feeling driven? The Haynes Motor Museum at Yeovil has the UK’s biggest collection of cars from around the world and is one of several museums in Somerset on the quirkier side: also try the privately-owned Oakham Treasures near Bristol for retail and farming history, the Helicopter Museum at Weston-super-Mare or the American Museum at Bath, the only American art museum outside the USA. Kids are spoilt for choice with the wildlife parks, zoos and aquariums in the area: whet their appetites at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol or the SeaQuarium at Weston-super-Mare before taking them to an adrenaline-inducing day at Longleat Safari Park just over the border in Wiltshire. Rollercoasters and fairs more their thing? Brean Leisure Park has 40 rides, river rides and splash parks; stroll along the miles of sandy stretch from here past Berrow and to seaside town Burnham-on-Sea. Sticking closer to Cheddar, there’s abseiling, caving, sampling the wares at Somerset cider farms, meandering around the Mendips or visiting the town’s sweet factory all to be had – and yes, there's also the cheese.
