 I visited Bucklegrove for the weekend. I found that the grounds were really well maintained, and everywhere was clean and tidy. There was a lovely play area for the children, a small swimming pool, and the toilets and showers were lovely. The food was good in the bar as well. Can't comment on the washing up area as I have just realised I never went there!
My only criticism would be the size of the pitches. We have a Vario 9 and were camping with friends so were using both pods. There wasn't enough room on the original pitch we were put on and we were in a very squashed corner of the site. All I would have been able to see when sitting outside the tent was other people's cars. There was very little room outside the tent for the children to play and it would have been impossible to have the row while putting the tent up without the whole field hearing!
However, the manageress was extremely helpful and moved us to a different pitch which was much better and she didn't book anyone next to us so we had room.
Overall I thought this was a very good site, and one I would return to, but only if I was able to stay on or near the same pitch. If you like the more organised sites with numbered/marked out pitches then this is for you, but if you like the pitch where you like type it isn't.

For tent dwellers, I'd recommend you ask for the overflow field, by far the best place on this site. Apart from that, your opinion of this place would depend on what you like. We arrived in half-term and every night there was a disco in the bar with inescapable loud thumping music wherever you were - fine if you like that sort of thing, as obviously did all the sub-teenage girls trying out their glammest fashions and dancing - it went on till 11pm every night and then it was like pub closing time with everyone returning noisily to the caravans. The showers were always hot, and free, and the pool warm and free though very small and always crowded with kids. Can't imagine how anyone squeezes a caravan around those narrow bendy roads in the area.

This was our first time to Bucklegrove Caravan & Camping Park and had a relaxing 5 days there (well as relaxing as it can be with a 1 year old!).
We were situated in the overflow field to the right of the main site and pitched our tent at the top of the field to give our toddler space to explore, it also gave us fantastic panoramic views across the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury Tor. The field is on a slope so choose your pitch carefully.
We were only a 2 min walk to the toilets/showers and washing up facilities which are all very clean. The showers were nice and hot and there is also a full size bath that can be used in the baby changing room for a £1 charge, this was very handy for bathing our baby.
The shop had only the bare essentials, so a visit to Tesco's in Wells was made (10min drive). The bar had entertainment every night we were there and always seemed busy, the pool was nice and warm. Didn't really fancy the food in the bar so we cooked our own most nights, I can also recommend The Rodney Stoke Arms for food 1/4 mile down the road (really good).
All in all - great location, great views and a nice little campsite.

I find this camp brill its sad that some people book a holiday just to look for faults. The showers are always hot, the pool always warm. The bar opens during the busy times but just in the evenings. I've been to this site loads of times and will be there again in august and October. You always get a lovely welcome from the staff. Yes this camp is not the biggest but its one of the most welcoming I've ever been on - any probs there is always someone to help. Clean shower blocks, clean camp and lots more

I thought this site was terrible. Cold water came out of the showers in the overflow field. No bread/milk/newspaper in the 'well-stocked' shop (opening at 9am!) and this was the first week of high season! Bar was continually shut in the evenings. Pool was lovely and heated, but changing rooms weren't BRRRRRRR! No fun with 2 children under 5 and one baby. And no hot showers(or water of any discription) in there either.
This would be fine if you had your own camper van, but camping and needing hot water forget it!

This was our third visit to Bucklegrove, and have not been disappointed yet. The atmosphere is very friendly and each time it feels like "coming home". The toilet blocks are always very clean and the small site shop sells the essentials. The food served in the club house is excellent value for money, and can also be had as a take-away if you prefer to eat at your pitch. We always have a great time at Buckle grove and we have even booked our next stay there. I thoroughly recommend this very friendly and clean site to all.

We had visited friends in their tourer a few months previously and took to the place straight away. We knew when we booked for the Bank holiday that we would be sited in the overflow field, but on arrival found there to be plenty of room for our two tents plus gazebo thingy. The facilities were always clean and there was enough going on for the grandkids not to get bored. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We've already booked Bucklegrove for next August. I must remember my binoculars to take in the spectacular south facing views.

Having endured the determined rudeness of staff at another campsite we decided for a change of site in Cheddar. We tried Bucklegrove and were so plesaed we had done so.
The main site was full and as other reviews state they are packed in. We were offered the overflow field which has to be 10x better. Still only a short walk to the facilities and is set with the best view from any campsite in the UK. Although on a hill the slope is gentle you can pick a spot with as much space around as you like. The facilities are clean, people friendly and the pool despite small, was never busy during our 3 days there. There were not more than 8 at any time including ourselves.
We were half way up the filed from the main road and traffic was not a problem. We will be going back.

Smallish site in a beautiful spot, very well kept with hedges, shrubs and well mown pitches. We received a friendly welcome here, the showers/toilets were clean and tidy with plenty of hot water, good dishwashing/food preparation area and good laundry room. Well placed for Wells/Cheddar caves, Wookey Hole and lovely views across Somerset towards Glastonbury Tor. The children enjoyed the small swimming pool, there was a reasonable menu in the bar, although we didn’t try the food, and a small games room with pool table. The shop could have been better stocked, OK for basics, but lots of empty shelves. Will definitely go back for a weekend, however, wouldn’t consider going in high season. It was very quiet when we were there, we had nearly a whole row to ourselves, but the pitches were very small and when the site is full it would definitely be jam packed. Only room on pitch for caravan with awning, no space for the car, this has to go in front, and with the people opposite doing the same there wouldn’t be much space between the cars. Can imagine manoeuvring into place might be a problem when site is full to capacity. Also those pitches opposite the bar area would surely have people using the outside tables looking straight in on them, and can imagine it might be noisy until fairly late. It may not suit you in high season if you value privacy/seclusion, but we thought it was perfect for a quiet weekend or longer off peak.

A very nice campsite with good facilities,
However, swimming pool was small (but not busy on our visit) and boy do they like to get you in! Your awning just manages to sqeeze in before it catches the next unit.
Positives- good facilities, friendly owners,great play area for the kids, nice bar and pool.
negatives. Very packed in, very very difficult to get your unit to the pitch without having to unhook first, not alot of walking of the camp site due to a narrow main road outside with no path (not to busy though) but you will need the car to explore the surrounding areas. pitches are not at all level (my steadies were fully extended at the front and hardley used at the rear.
All in all though not a bad site and quite child friendly.
