What customers say
Buckland Field is a quiet, simple campsite near The Bell Inn. Guests love the friendly staff, great food, and fair prices. Enjoy country views and easy exploring. Clean showers (though £2 for 6 mins, temp can vary) and loos. Some noted flies, and it’s tricky for big motorhomes. Still, many found it good value and would come back.

Lovely quiet field, country surroundings and very friendly pub staff.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Peaceful, relaxing space to camp, with sounds of local birds and wildlife on a hit summer's evening. Pub staff very friendly and helpful. Prices good.There's a ping pong table and snooker and board games in a separate area of the pub.
Disliked Very hot shower, no knobs to turn to change temperature. Still, it was a big space to shower and get changed in.

Not good
Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked Nice little pub next door but did not open till 5pm with nothing else around for miles this was very disappointing.
Disliked Full of flies even in the pub completely everywhere
No toilet close just a shower at £2 which is very expensive for a cold shower and no other facilities.

Disappointed
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked The pub was lovely
The field was well maintained
Easy to find
Disliked Only 1 toilet and it's quite a walk from the field and creepy at night as its through a car park
1 shower which you have to pay for
The campsite doesn't state this £2 for 6mins doesn't stay hot either
Too many campers needs limits to how many can pitch up
Loud campers
Police being called at 11pm and others chatting til 3pm ruined the last night!

Would only return if they restricted the number of campers.

Liked We had a lovely stay at Buckland Field, plenty of space with a great pub next door, everyone was really welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely meal there in the evening too. We would stay here again.
Disliked The only slight issue was there was no toilets in the field, it is only a couple of minutes walk to the toilet which was fine but there is just one. During the day/evening you can use the pub toilets though
