  • 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 powered concrete slab motorhome site

Liked Very warm friendly welcome, and the views from the campsite were lovely, our pitch was nice but a little tight for our motorhome. We had excellent WiFi on site. Was nice that they put entertainment on in the evening for guests

Disliked The toilets and showers are very dated with black mould in places on the walls, the water although very hot was not of good pressure and my son refused to use the showers after the first night as there were also spiders in there! The noise level on the campsite was very loud from about 7.30am until well after 11pm even though it’s supposed to be quiet time from 10pm!

Our pitch was half tarmac and half gravel with a brick line separating the two, my vehicle is 2.5 meters wide and it didn’t fit the tarmac part of our pitch which ment my passenger wheels were on the bricks not ideal as I needed to use choks to raise it plus the lineing of the gravel part was coming through which could cause a trip hazard !

Sadly always no buses run on a Sunday which is not great when you have a large vehicle that’s not easy to park, but that is no fault of the campsite!

Tor View unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (no pets)

Liked The bar/restaurant, pool, very clean toilets and areas. The family bathroom (could be improved with a toilet) and the individual and private sink cubicle. Place to freeze your ice packs.

Disliked Inconsistent temperatures in the shower cubicals - one very hot.
The shop could do with more choice of basic stock eg sweet rolls, bread, bacon, juice. I understand the pitch is seasonal but there are no nearby shops in walking distance, these items hold a reasonable shelf life and the fridge was quite empty first week of August. No alcohol eg wine, beer, local cider etc. I didn't notice any techno charging points.

Don't stay for a relaxing holiday. Lots of swaring around site.

Strawberry Field powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The park was lovely. Very well kept and clean. Facilities were great.

Disliked Excellent as a family park but our pitch was right next to the play area and bar so extremely noisy. Lots of older kids shouting and swaring in the evenings - way past the 11pm curfew which was not challenged, neither was the rule of dogs being on lead as we had two enter our tent on sportage occasions. I'm sure our experience would have been better on the Grove. Disappointed as I specifically called to ask how noisy strawberry fields was and feel deliberately mislead.

Grove powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Staff were so helpful and friendly. I had wrongly booked a hard standing pitch - but we wanted to pitch our awning on grass. The staff found us an alternative pitch, which was great.
Facilities were clean and easily accessible.
Location was great.

Disliked Not disliked - but a suggestion ... to have a hose available to rinse out toilet waste cartridges next to the waste area.

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.
