  • 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).

What customers say

This is a clean and well-maintained campsite with friendly, helpful staff. Guests particularly praise the indoor swimming pool, on-site bar and restaurant, and convenient location for local attractions. The pitches are generally spacious and private. While some facilities are noted as dated, most visitors report them as clean and functional. Occasional reports of noise from other guests or nearby kennels are present but do not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The views of Somerset.

Disliked Some of the caravans that are pitched permanently look very untidy with multi coloured lights up poles and fencing with lights on them, looks like a circus. Very clean but tired.

Helena W.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great views, friendly staff, clean facilities, level pitch on hardstanding - liked it at the top of the site (Grove) and had a shower (no push button either!) and toilet block - with washing up area, chemical waste and drinking water - all easily accessible. Has shop selling good range of basics. Nice bar and small pool, plus games room.
Managed to walk to the local pub by taking the back roads to avoid walking on the main road. They did great coffee and fab breakfasts and were really welcoming!!

Disliked Hard to walk on the roadside as no pavement - buses only every hour.

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.
