About Bucklegrove Holiday Park
The park is nestled by the base of the Mendips, offering views of the timeless Somerset Levels and Brent Knoll that will inspire any walker. It's less than 15 minutes' drive from Cheddar Gorge and half an hour from Glastonbury. Camping and touring pitches are set across two fields, one - the original - treats you to sweeping panoramic views and has the shelter of a group of mature trees and shrubs. Pup tents and gazebos are allowed for storage. The other was previously home to tasty strawberries, and now is the closest to all the park's family friendly facilities. With a choice of electric, non electric and fully serviced pitches, you're sure to find something you like across these fields. For a pod stay, Bucklegrove has all the essentials, so they'll keep you warm, dry and very comfortable. Just remember to bring your bedding with you if you're staying in the cabins or camping pod! If you don't fancy the hassle of bringing your home with you, why not curl up in a cosy cabin? These open plan spaces include your bed, electricity, heating and much more. There are also a top range of self catering holiday homes and lodges on site, including options to suit any budget.
Touring is open all year round. Camping, cabins and pods are available from March to November.
Site facilities shared between campers, glampers and those in the cabins include excellent heated showers and toilets. Family bathrooms with baths are also available. Guests in the lodges and holiday homes have self contained facilities. There is a coin operated laundry, playground for under 12s (with a play fort, wave slide and rockers) and a licensed shop. Free WiFi is available.
All guests are welcome to enjoy the heated indoor swimming pools, open 9am - 5pm daily (6pm in the school holidays). The Lodge - Bar, Grill and Restaurant is open Friday and Saturday evenings over the winter months before opening on most evenings during the summer season and every day in the school holidays. Please note, opening times may vary.

Tired, in need of an overhaul

No pathway on main road to walk to places. We went at the end of season, so was very quiet. We asked to have a different fully serviced pitch to the one allocated to us, as it was under a very messy tree. The drainage areas were covered in foliage and difficult to use for grey waste, the chemical area is low and could do with updating. The pitches look quite unkept with greenery growing through any hardcore that was there. Also, even though we arrived on a Thursday and there were plenty of pitches empty, I was told (which included some desktop finger tapping), that they could only give me the pitch next door to the original one as they had other people arriving at the weekend (Some of which only stayed the one night). I'm guessing that maybe you can pre book spaces if that's the case and it's not first come first serve? It was a walk to the main, basic, tired and in need of revamping shower/toilet block. The showers had bubbled plaster walls, thick dust on pipe work. The sink cubicle taps took forever to get hot water from and did not stay on for long enough, door that did not lock. The shower was lovely and warm, although the hot water pipe, which is exposed, was exceptionally hot and may be a danger to children if touched. There was a separate, smaller shower block which we only used the once as the toilet did not flush and was even more tired looking than the main block. This was accessed via a small wooded area into the next field which had large animal statues, which was a nice touch to the site for the children. It has a play area next to the clubhouse/swim pool (not used by us so cannot comment), the pool changing area is also the clubhouse toilets, which was extremely tired, no curtain on shower and very drab looking, sliding wooden doors on toilet in need of some care with a basic hook and eye for a lock. In our personal opinion, the whole site needs an overhaul and could be lovely with some care and attention, we will not return there but for somewhere to stop overnight before travelling on its basic and ok 3/10.
Would stay again

Small site, well placed for visiting Somerset. Pitches are decent. Nice little club with pool table and indoor pool. Onsite shop carries the basics. Made very welcome and would use again.
Great place to chill out

Fab showers and free, the shower block was very clean. The site was a great place to chill out, wish I booked more days, will book again if in area. Valve for money.
