 Nice site overall, but it is let down by the tiny pitches, we stayed over half term and thankfully had asked for hardstanding as the grass pitches were under a couple of inches of water!
We didn't use our awning which was a good job as we had to park next to the van, you need to be on good terms with your neighbours here and either be an ace in reversing or be prepared to unhitch to park the your van!
The swimming pool was good and the shower block was the best we have seen, very clean and lots of hot wateralthough there are only 3 cubicles each time we visited we were the only people there despite the site being quite full.
The bar was a bit of a let down as on the first night they had childrens entertainment and despite us arriving half an hour before the start all of the tables had been previously reserved so we could not sit down! Then all of the beers ran out and the bar was closed for the duration of our stay.
On the whole it is a good site, but let down badly by the pitch sizes, as this also means there is no where for the children to play.

Lovely site - overall hospitality good. We were in the overflow field which we would recommend as the pitches on the actual site are far too close together. Being in the overflow field you had fantastic views of the open countryside - weather permitting !
Everything clean but lacking in no. Of showers in block (only 3) - plenty of toilets. Washing up area clean & tidy. Laundry room - ok. Pool - ok. Clubhouse ok - the only downside is that it isn't large enough when the campsite is full to overflowing, especially on the weekends. Games room - could be bigger. Shop - ok for bare essentials. Children's play area - ok. We had a great stay here and will be visiting again as it is in a very good location.

This is a lovely clean and quiet site. The only things we felt let it down a little are the shop which was quite small and couldn't stock very much and also the allocated pitches were not very spacious and sloped .
the indoor pools were lovely and clean, as were the bar/club.
The take away was not as good as it could have been. Ran out of certain foods a couple of times. Overall I would still recommend this site as one of the better ones we have used.

Well having read so many popular comments about this site we were excited to visit.
When booking we were very explicit about the fact that we were a two family party of which one had a very large tent requiring at least 6.5m x 5.5m pitching space and needing electrical hook up. These requirements were further clarified in a telephone call three days before travel as pitch sizes have flagged up difficulties for us before and we were keen to get our holiday started from the offset without having to waste precious time either tyring to fit on an inadequate pitch area or wait around whilst re-accommodation is sorted.
The telephone call ended with the assurance that they would check the pitch area and would only contact us if there was a problem. This telephone call never happened so off we travelled.
When we saw our pitch it was too small. We returned back to reception to be told that they had not called us back because they are just too busy to return customers telephone calls.
Some time later and based mainly on the initiative of another customer, we were re-allocated space on the overflow field which in many respects worked out a lot better. Firstly the main site offers small pitch sizes and is cluttered and cramped leaving little (if any) room for any personal space or privacy. Secondly these pitches have an obscured view of the beautiful views that can be had. So I would say - definitely head for the overflow field if being up close and personal with your neighbours is not your thing. You get a lot more space and the advantage of interrupted views, in some respects you could even be closer to the main facilities depending on where you pitch. However obtaining water means that you do have to walk as I only spotted one tap on entry to the field.
Once pitched - the extension lead we had been offered so that we could still get our electrical hook up ( this was achieved by plugging lead into lead across 35m of hedge so that we could obtain power from an unused source) turned out to be not quite long enough so I approached one of the female members of the management team who again I found to treat us as an inconvenience rather than a customer. Thankfully the male members of the team were more helpful. Three hours later than planned we finally started our break.
In terms of the site overall, I can see why so many people would be charmed by its exquisite location, reasonable itinerary of entertainment and family friendly atmosphere. However the claims to have a well stocked shop and modern and immaculate washing facilities ( as stated in their ad in the AA guide 2006) are exaggerated. The shop stocks basics and the washing areas are in need of some TLC. Two of the gents toilet's didn't flush well, laminate and some tiles were cracked and chipped, the area is dark inside and toothpaste, hair and shampoo remained on tiles and doors for the duration of our stay. The basics were cleaned but these facilities certainly don't live up to the "immaculate" we have experienced on other sites. Also queining for them became a feature of our stay.
We met some lovely people here and had an OK time, however the lack of customer service and attention to detail does let it down.

Bucklegrove, What a friendly bunch! The owners were helpful, approachable and generally kind. The site amenities were great, a main field for camping and tourers, another field further up into woodland(didn't actually see it) and an overflow(tents only) Showers and loos were clean, washing-up facilities and laundry facilities good. We were pitched a little close to the bar and pool for our liking(bad luck and could be avoided on a second visit with request!) as we have young busy children from 7am, by 9pm they just want to sleep. My youngest (nearly 4) said "Please can you just ask those children outside to be quiet cos I really wanna go to sleep now!" So if you've got young ones, ask to be placed far away from bar or even in the overflow which is a big field away from the tourers, but as close to the showers, loos as we were. Didn't go to the bar and use entertainment as young kids just wouldn't stay awake long enough! However Bingo, Horse Racing, musicians galore and by the sounds of things everyone had a good time! Would definitely go back although being close to the action( bar, pool and park) is not as good as we thought it may be. Tents don't shut out the noise as well as caravans. The on-site shop was limited and ecclectic, no wine, and only cans of lager and beer (1type of each) very little of anything else (budgens is 10 mins down the road!) Also no cashpoint or cashback (you can pay by card though!) Good overall experience would definitely consider returning.

A pleasant site although very muddy when we arrived. Not really ideal for tents as the field we were in was very sloping and we ended up with all of the kids footballs in our tent. Nice club house with very friendly staff but watch the adding up as rounds tended to be different price every time. Small swimming pool but the owners really tried to keep everyone entertained with quizzes, karaoke and swimming galas, very well kept and great for touring |Cheddar and surrounding areas. We actually decided to stay an extra 2 days

This was the first time my children and I have been camping and we found an excellent family run site in Bucklegrove. The campsite and facilities are clean the pitches are flat and we had plenty of room. The clubhouse, play area and swimming pool are excellent and the food was good.
The site is fairly central to Cheddar Caves & gorge and Wookey hole. There are fresh fruit stalls near by which was fairly priced. In Cheddar itself there is an excellent Chinese take away and Chip shop and can honestly say both are worth a visit.
To round up the kids loved the play area and the swimming pool and we all enjoyed our first camping trip. We will be going back there again.

We thought this was a lovely site. The facilities were very clean. The showers were free and the hairdryer points cost 20p for about half an hour use. The site is well laid out with lovely views of the countryside.
Cheddar is nearby with shops and pubs for food. This was only our second time camping but we WILL be back.

We visited Bucklegrove 10 years ago and thought it would be nice to go back with the kids.
This site has excellant facilities with a large toilet block with lovely hot free showers, always clean, 20 pence for hair dryer and electric socket for whatever(straighteners?). Also lots of sinks for dishwashing and an actual bathroom with bath!
The laundry has everything you need including ironing board and iron and the on site shop seemed to be open all the time selling all the basics and more!
Swimming pool is great especially the small pool for my younger one(3yrs) and I didn't mind the changing rooms but be warned they are open changing no cubicles and the showers in there were a dribble of cold water. First hour of the morning is for adults only then kids can go in from 11am. Kids play area was really nice with a fort, swings, slide and small wooden assault course thing. We were given the times the kids are allowed to play in the park which was 9am -9pm, lots of other rules too about hard ball games and also not riding bikes outside of these times too, which I suppose is fair enough to keep everyone happy.
We didn't really use the bar and felt the food was overpriced compared to prices in Cheddar especially for the limited choice.
Our weekend was great here except that the owners allowed a family to pitch up at 10.30pm right next to us which was ok until they started blowing up their beds at 11.15 but I guess we were just unlucky.
