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).

Strawberry Field fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Not too much to be honest

Disliked Hardstanding pitch was large enough but very muddy around the edges no help when you needed to hook up or get water

Wifi signal was not brilliant
Toilets were clean warm and spacious but totally in the wrong place need to be central not by the entrance to far to walk if your at the top of the site
Bar restaurant /food was very good price and good portions
Alas drinks were unreal £8+ for a glass of wine no wonder people left shortly after food
Staff were very friendly on check in but that was the last time you saw anyone during the stay think the place could do with a small makeover and bar price restructure
Sadly won't be returning
But it might just be your cup of tea you be the judge

Strawberry Field fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had a lovely stay overall and would happily return. The facilities were spotlessly clean throughout our visit, which made a big difference to our comfort. The pool was also beautifully warm – the children thoroughly enjoyed it.

Disliked One area that could be improved is the parking for the hard standing pitches. It isn’t very clear which parking space belongs to which pitch, and on a few occasions neighbours accidentally used the wrong spot, which then caused confusion for others. Everyone was very polite and no one wanted to make an issue of it, but it did create a bit of unnecessary inconvenience.

A simple solution might be to add clear signage at each car park space showing the pitch number. That would make things much clearer and help avoid any mix-ups in future.

Overall, a great stay with excellent facilities – just a small tweak to the parking system would make it even better.

Strawberry Field fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This was the perfect site for us as family during a murky February half term.
Warm swimming pool that is free of charge and doesn't need to be booked, unlike other sites we've used. The bar/restaurant is nice and we enjoyed eating and drinking in there.
The bus stop is on the doorstep - Cheddar is in one direction, Wells in the other and both worth a visit.
Our nine year old son loved this site and is keen to return soon.

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.
