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).

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: We literally booked 3hrs before we arrived and they're were no issues! Really lovely campsite with welcoming staff. Facilities were very clean. We didn't eat at the little pub but was nice to drink in and had things inside for free to entertain the kids (perfect in those darker wetter nights)

Disliked: The pool changing rooms could only fit one family at a time with no lockers or chairs to keep your things safe /dry so had to take EVERYTHING pool side.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Campsite easy to get to, good facilities, family friendly. In a fabulous location near to Cheddar and Wells! We stayed in a caravan and were pleased with the size of our pitch (electric hard standing). Everyone friendly. Clubhouse served decent food at a decent price and had a lovely vibe. Didn’t make full use of the facilities but I was pleased with the facilities we did use (toilet block, shower nice and hot, clubhouse).

Disliked: Not quite 5* just as we have stayed at better campsites which offer just that little bit more I.E more space for dog walking, slightly more modern toilet block. I am comparing to other campsites I have stayed at which just tip this one but it is still VERY GOOD and VERY PLEASED.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff were friendly, nice to have a bar/ pool and small shop on site. Some pitches were nicer than others on the site and some looked like they had newly laid gravel.

Disliked: The facilities were tired, cleaning often wasn't done well, ladies loo sanitary waste wasn't emptied the whole 2 weeks we were on site. Our pitch although was classified as gravel was mostly mud and flooded. We were right under a tree that dropped everything on us and banged on the van at night. We were also right next to the loos which is okay for some but not when you can see straight into the men's loos and hear the hand dryer whenever that went off. (I would like to say we didn't raise these concerns with the site so they didn't get the chance to make it better for us and we could have done that and they likely would have made improvements for us as I say above they were very friendly)

Strawberry Field electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: The site was brilliant and everything was clean, well looked after and all you could ask of a campsite. Very good value for money. There's a bus stop right outside the gate one way was to Wells and the other to Weston S Mare. Great when you have a motorhome.

Disliked: This is not a dislike more a observation. We couldn't find anywhere to walk the dog apart from around the site itself. This was fine for a 2 night stay but any longer our dog may have gone stir crazy. He came everywhere with us so excercise was not an issue more about cleaning up after him. We felt we would rather allow him to do what comes naturally off the actual site grounds.

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.
