  • 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).

Ashley B.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely staff
Amazing location and view
Great campsite

Stopped over here for one night to break up the journey back from Newquay, hard standing pitch was great, well kept bushes dividing the pitches. There is a little play park on site that the kids loved. The proximity to Cheddar caves and gorge is really great, it is a 10 minute drive, and being able to visit there on a stop over was also great! Showers were great, our block had a proper mixer tap and adjustable position head, not one of those silly push button things with a fixed head. Toilets were clean, tidy, and very well kept.

The Maribel plum trees were also a favourite for the kids, you should make jam on site and sell it in the shop!

Disliked Being picky but the swimming pool shut a little early given it is summer (5pm), would have been nice to have it open until 7pm. But it wasn’t a big deal.

Grove electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Indoor swimming pool is warm with a separate toddler pool. It’s more than enough to keep little ones entertained. The bar serves decent food and there’s a play area outside and toys inside.

The whole site is clean, as are the facilities. We visited Wookey Hole nearby and booking into the campsite gave you 10% off. Great value for money

Disliked WiFi was intermittent in the camping field but we had 4G anyway

Strawberry Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The camping grounds were all clean and well maintained. The swimming pool is fantastic with a smaller toddler pool available. The restaurant is well run with good food and drink options. And it has a couple of games for children to play. The line music is enjoyable and does not carry on to being terrible hours.

Disliked Nothing, the ground are event.

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.
