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.

A note from the site themselves...

The park first began as a Tea Room in the 1940s and is now home to one of the largest holiday complexes in Somerset, operated and owned by Wookey Hole. We pride ourselves on being a family friendly park, with a knowledgeable team that will always be on hand to welcome and advise you before and during your stay.

We hope to share our wonderful part of Somerset with you soon, Sam

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesDec 2024

Fabulous site on a bus route to Cheddar, Weston and Wells. Good facilities. What really stood out was the great service and the positive and polite "rules". Sometimes campsite are full of things you can't do. This site reframes rules to positives which makes visitors feel welcome and included. Great job, thanks.

Perfect weekend

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

Only snag was the entrance. It catches the underneath of your van both entering and exiting. But once in, very quiet clean and value for money.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

We had a very pleasant stay. The facilities were nice and clean, and the showers were hot. We didn't use the pool or the Lodge but we happy knowing they were available. The site is in the perfect position for visiting towns and villages. The only minus, we couldn't find the motorhome service point to drain our dirty water. We would definitely stay again.
