  • 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… 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).

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great location for Cheddar Gorge visits.

Disliked This site simply wasn’t for us. We were situated in G101 pitch, which was approx 3 meters away from the toilets (and the chemical disposal pit…). We were kept awake on our first night by a mixture of:
- The lamp post directly overhead that was on until just gone 11pm
- Hand dryer from the toilets (door didn’t close)
- Light above toilet door, on all night
- Rather awkwardly, there was a chap that grunted loudly when having a poo.

We spoke to the site the next morning and asked to move for our second night. Initially they couldn’t, but they kindly juggled some bookings and were able to shift us down the row by four pitches.

This was a better pitch, but all the pitches are very close, and there was a large group directly behind us in tents that had set up a communal area in the middle, and were not there for peace and quiet.

We decided to head home rather than finish the trip.

I cannot comment on the pool or the bar, as we didn’t use either. The toilets were functional, but could use some updating and could have been cleaner.

Overall, I think we had a bad run of it, rather than the site being bad. If you’re after a family break that’s a little more lively than peaceful, then this is probably ideal. Just not for us.

Grove electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Great camping space and pitch sizes were reasonable, we did have a large space as it was our first time camping but in future a general pitch would be more than fine here.
Nice bonus to have a pool.
The park outside the club house was a nice space to spend our evenings and get to know other campers while my 4 year old enjoyed himself and made friends.
All facilities were clean and to the perfect standard.
Another great bonus to have a freezer for ice blocks through the heat wave.
Lovely staff and owners, all were kind and couldn't do enough to help you.
Great location for the countryside views and caves and only a 30minute drive from 3 beaches where we spent most of our time.

Tor View non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Site was very nice with good accessibility.
Friendly staff.

Disliked Pool shuts at 4pm (Sunday) 5 pm the rest of the week. So we didn’t get to go in which was disappointing. The shower and toilet area could be cleaner. Grass pitch with no electric the road was noisy during the night.

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 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.
