Buckland Campsite

Great family orientated campsite with excellent, well maintained facilities. Ian and Charmaine are charming and friendly hosts who made us very welcome.

Lovely Quiet Location set down the country lanes of Buckland Ripers.

Very impressed with the customer service, very accommodating and knowledgeable. Lovely approachable staff who clearly take time to look after their guests and facilities.

Went out of their way to pick us a great corner pitch, which was perfect for containing the three kids!

Lovely settling, not all cramped like some campsites, lots of space and not overcrowded which was a surprise being high season.

The facilities were good although I have two minor suggestions for the showering and toilet facilities. I feel perhaps some squeegee mops could be provided to clean the shower floors between uses, as I felt bad leaving a the bathroom wet and in tidy for the next user. Also the smell from the tanks was somewhat off putting when using the toilets and shower perhaps something that may need looking into. Otherwise the toilets and showers were of high standard and kept tidy and cleaned by staff daily.

There was a lovely little play area for the younger children and a, games room on the barn! A well equipped little shop on site.
A marque tent with bowls and seating, with a bespoke mobile bar for drinks in the evening, lovely touch!

We were keen to find out about bookings for next year for a longer stay and would certainly recommend the site to others

The site is very clean with helpful friendly staff 😊
The weather 😊

*Showers were ridiculously hot and are impossible to stand under. We asked if anything could be done to turn the temperature down and was told they couldn't change it but we could go to the other site (Higher Moor) and that it was set at a temperature that an elderly person could stand under. Ended up coming out sweating!
*Toilets are small for those with a big bum, you have to go in sideways and straddle the loo!
*The shop is very expensive (£2 for 4 rolls, £2.50 for an individual tub of ice cream)
**maybe stock things that are needed rather than overpriced handmade biscuits**
*The evening that had a singer on I asked if there were any soft drinks for children. I was told the only soft drinks were in the shop...which was closed!
*Noisy group of 4, smoking joints which stunk the place out (not the sites fault)

- cleanliness of the showers and toilets
- helpfulness of the staff
- shop
- Saturday night there was music put on and a bar running out of a horsebox
- Friday night there was a pizza truck on site, which was great.
- there was a 10pm time for things to quieten down but this was not overly enforced but at the same time there were examples where staff did ask people to quieten down around 11pm etc when the noise was a bit too loud.
- lots of children for my daughter to play with

- One of the positives of the site is how open it it is but because of the extreme heat, it did make it hard to keep out of the sun. But not lots which could be done about that.

Large pitch size, family friendly. Toilets were extremely clean, lovely hot showers and plenty of them. Allowed fire pits of the ground. Nice and quiet at night. Some nice touches from the owners such as use of washing lines and the washing up areas had dish soap and sponges for everyone to use. Will definitely camp their again in the future.

Nothing

The facilities were the cleanest and best maintained I’ve seen on a camp site. They also have things not advertised on the website. The little shop was great and not over priced. The staff there were very friendly. They also offered a great wood bundle for campfires at a reasonable price. I would recommend this site for anybody with small kids.
