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 Grass PitchesNov 2024

Perfect for our 2 night get away. Lovely indoor heated swimming pool. Only a small site with a pub and restaurant, so no kids club per se, but they did have kids entertainment on the night we stayed which was boogie bingo and my son won 6 tickets to Wookey Hole, so we were delighted. Very close to visiting places such as Wookey Hole. Glastonbury Tor, Burnham on Sea and Brean theme park, so we were very happy with our 2 night stay.

Excellent

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were all so nice and friendly. The facilities were good and everywhere was clean and tidy. They are very dog friendly which meant our pooch got to enjoy the whole experience with us.

Tired, in need of an overhaul

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

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.
