 We had a lovely stay at this campsite during off peak time. The staff were very friendly and very helpful, letting you know places worth visiting and giving directions. The campsite is small and pleasant, with a lovely indoor pool, and a pool table. Showers and toilets are clean, but small, and I would imagine that they get busy peak season!
Peaceful, quiet, and very pleasant, would camp here again and recommend it to friends / family.

Just returned yesterday from a 2 week stay at this site. This was the first in out trailer tent and I have to say the site is fantastic. The whole site is very very clean and well looked after down to the landscaping, grass cutting etc to the cleanliness of the toilet blocks.
I must point out that contrary to another post, there are 2 separate washing up areas for those without a caravan. I can only presume the previous camper didn't find them. These were very clean with drying racks on the sinks
We stayed in the top right hand corner of the grove which is the top field. The pitch, as all appeared, very flat and terraced into the landscape to make them this way. Our trailer tent is large with a large awning. We had no trouble for space plus windbreaks and parking 2 vehicles.
The views over the mendips are spectacular. The bar is only open friday and saturdays when not in school holiday times but this didn't matter too much. I went to watch an England match in the bar and the range of drinks was excellent and the food, although I didn't try it looked good with plenty on a plate.
The swimming pool is very clean and tidy and was adequate for my 3 year old to splash about in. Its a basic pool but its open 10-6 and nobody else was in there.
There are facilities to freeze ice blocks which proved useful for us without a freezer.
The showers are free and have a continuous supply of hot water for as long as you want. Small charge for the bath and hair dryers, which are in all toilet blocks.
The staff are very nice and always chat to you. The site is barrier controlled for added security.
The shop is reasonably stocked for those things you forget but for bigger shops there is a good Budgens in Cheddar as well as a Tesco Express or there is a big Tesco in Wells. Both are no more than 10 minutes drive away.
Locally I cant recommend enough a pub called 'The Galleries Inn' in Cheddar. We went there for a Ploughmans lunch, Sunday lunch and the best Steak I have ever had. If you like steak you must go here!
You can get discounted tickets for Cheddar Gorge at reception with £3 of per person which is worth it. I would also recommend a visit to the fleet air arm museum at Yeovilton, best military museum ive been to and kids love it. (and big kids!)
I cant recommend this site enough. I can imagine it may get busier in school holidays but out of those times you wont be disappointed. If I go this way on holiday again, I will only be staying here.

Second stop in Somerset, originally booked at Cheddar Camp but it was very busy with only seriously sloping pitches left. The Rodney Stoke Camping and Caravan park was a lucky find, especially being a bank holiday weekend.
The site was very well kept and the pitches level. The toilet / shower facilities were found to be both clean and modern. The site doesn't have any other facilities and there's no where to wash up - people were using the sinks to do so - but being experienced campers we had a wash bowl etc with us and simply boiled up some water - no problem.
Location is great for exploring the Mendips. Didn't use the Inn but looked very nice. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

The site is still very clean, toilet blocks very clean. Showers etc. are all well maintained. playground area is just outside the bar so you can still see the kids when having a pint or two
You have cheddar one way from the site, Wells the other way, Priddy over the top and the Somerset levels in front of you. The site is run by the same family for the last 14 years and all are very friendly, no Mr Big in some office somewhere.
On Friday night we had a table top quiz and on Saturday night we had a disco. But on Monday night we had the Mangled Wurzels, what a night to remember and all f.o.c.
We will be back this year for some more fun and laughter

Nice views, didn't find size of the pitches too bad for our small caravan. Washrooms clean but not vast in size for number of pitches. We were warmly welcomed. We enjoyed lovely day trip to Wells - and enjoyed the views of the Somerset levels from our campsite. Pool small but warm and nice to have available.
Our only problem was that we hadn't read the small print about fact 'no noise after midnight' and it was noisy all evening until gone midnight - both noise from the bar area, music from pitches and from playground - where screaming children carried on playing in dark even at 11.30pm. Would not go back for that reason but if you don't mind a lively place or you can go to the far top corner of the site then you may enjoy it.

We stayed during our June tour down south, for several nights mid week while children were all at school. Our children are yet to start school, so for us, this was the best time to visit this lovely site.
Whilst the pool is small it was all you would expect, and having it to ourselves was just perfect. It is part of the club house building, which during our visit was not open. Not a problem for us though as our three children of 6mths, 2yrs and 4yrs are not big on drinking!
The setup looked perfect though, small bar/ lounge area with benches outside and the children’s play area in full view.
The toilets are clean and have no complaints from us.
The site is clean and is in three parts, two touring areas and a static area. Sadly, the pitch we were on was not level and we did struggle to get the motorhome level. This didn’t spoil things though. Some pitches were a little too close to each other in our opinion.
Staff were friendly and the shop had plenty to offer.
Having the best weather this country had to offer this year, we chose to stay on site and relax in the sun, so we can not comment on the local area, walking, cycling etc. However, with places like Cheddar being five minutes down the road, there are plenty of nice places to visit.
The children’s play area had no complaints from our children.
Overall the site was great. I can imagine it to be busy during school holidays and weekends and the pool being too small for large numbers, but the site it’s self would cope fine.

We just stayed here over bank holiday and had nice time. We were very lucky to get in I think after we had problems at brean with our tent getting smashed to pieces in the wind, I fixed it and hoped to get in another site so was very pleased that we managed to get in.
Site is very nice and clean, barrier key on entry so its private, two fields to choose from for tents. Also there was a family bathroom with a bath which is a great addition for families as I had a 4 year old and a 18 month old who wouldn't of used showers so we managed to bath them. Think facilities down near reception were better than where we were in 'the grove' but was still ok there with toilets, showers and dishwashing facilities.
Only problems I can think of were the pitches are way too close together our guy ropes were crossing with the tent next to us, so not very private at all, we had other peoples kids coming in our tent which is ok but can be a bit annoying first thing! also the club house was very noisy,
Would definitely visit again, its set in such a beautiful area, and they seem to think of entertainment quite a lot but personally I wouldn't ever go in the school holidays or bank holidays again, for us camping is a way to get away from the hustle and bustle and this was a bit too noisy and packed for us! Lovely, clean, and great staff though!

Loved it so much went back again. The staff are lovely and the clubhouse is great not having to drive. Theres bingo, quiz nights, Kareoke and when we were there the Mangled Wurzels appeared and were great family entertainment. We have a large unit and the pitches are a tad on the small size but we managed and had no problems. There is a small swimming pool which is cleaned daily. The toilet facilities are clean. The Wi Fi is free in the bar area. Cheddar and Wookey hole are a must. The fellow campers are friendly and we had the pleasure of meeting some very nice people from north of the Country - Hello Barbara - if you read this, and we will definitely be keeping in touch.

We only stayed for 2 nights camping,
The reception staff were friendly and helpful.
The site was very well laid out, clean and tidy with excellent shower/toilet facilities.
On the site there is a Pool which looked lovely and clean but didn't get chance to use this,
The Bar had good drinks prices and was nice to sit outside and have a relaxing drink,
The Pitch we were on was a standard pitch with no hook up, The pitch was well used and due to this had little/no grass around it, this made the area under and around the tent rather muddy.
On our stay we visited Cheddar gorge which was amazing and a must to see.Dont get their early as nothing opens until around 10.30am.
On the way back from cheddar we drove up the gorge and stopped of at The New inn pub in Priddy this served excellent food and friendly staff and the back lanes bring you out next to the campsite.
Overall would definitely stay at Bucklegrove again

Myself my husband and 2yr old son visited Bucklegrove and booked in for 4nights Mon-Fri.The total cost was £60 a bit pricey but thought ok they have a pool a park and a bar so it justified it-sort of. We arrived to find the bar was only open on Friday and Saturday nights and open fully in 'peak season'. Peak Season being the school holidays! I thought this was a bit misleading and felt a bit annoyed. Granted we had our toddler with us so it wasn't like it was a mad boozy week but we liked the thought of having a quiet drink and maybe a meal. Shame.
The pool area was lovely we were very lucky to have it to ourselves on the two occasions we used it. The playpark was just a climbing frame with a slide and two bouncy things I was amazed there were no swings. The showers/toilets/baby room were kept very clean and the site itself is set in beautiful surroundings. Tents are close to each other so it's not very private.O ur pitch (situated at the top in the grove) was just mud so our tent is in a poor condition I don't suppose the constant monsoon like weather helped!
All in all Bucklegrove is ok. I felt it was pricey for what we got

We've just returned from a long weekend here. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed in the 'Grove' field which was pleasantly quiet and very well maintained. Our only complaint was that the showers in the grove were a bit of a drizzle but the ones in the main block in the main field were well worth the short walk.
Terraced pitches were a good idea as they prevented the sliding-down-hill-in-the-night syndrome. Staff were friendly and helpful. A barrier entry system made site feel secure.
If you stay here a walk in the nearby Ebbor Gorge is a must. The 2km 'scramble' though the gorge was a very pleasant mini-adventure. (The food at the Rodney Stoke Inn isn't bad either.)

This is such a great site! its the most peaceful one we have visited in a very long time
The pool was lovely, all the showers and toilets were really clean, and we never had any problems with being able to use them, despite it being a bank holiday weekend and the site being very busy
We used the family bath room a couple of times as we have a baby and its easier to use than the showers and that was always lovely and clean
We didn't go to the bar so cant comment on that, but they had live entertainment one night which we could just about hear at our pitch which was in the 'grove' section of the site, well away from the pub (it could be quite noisy I would imagine if you were close to the pub) that being said, it all finished at 11 and there's a no noise after midnight rule
The pitches are quite cramped, but overall the site was so clean, and peaceful, with such a lovely friendly family atmosphere that we didn't find it a problem at all.
We will definitely return, but would want to pitch again in the 'grove' area as its furthest away from the pub
Its a bit of a drive into cheddar (about 15 minutes) but overall close to most attractions

We have just got back from a fantastic Easter break, the staff really made you feel welcome from the start. The on site pool is great and the bar is a bonus ( not having to drive )
My sons enjoyed a full on 4 days from playing bingo, to the Quiz night, egg hunt ( with a real life Easter bunny) and the WII tournament. The food on site was very good and very reasonably priced as was the bar prices.
The facilities were above average and the even though the site was full we had experienced no problems. We had a hard-standing pitch which was on the main field and was adequate in size despite having a large unit (we only had a problem pitching because of the way the neighbouring camper had parked their vehicle). The shop on site had the necessities.
All in All we would recommend this site especially to families with children of any age. We are looking forward to our next visit to Bucklegrove as its outstanding and believe me we are not easily pleased.

Had a lovely weekend here (2 adult, 3 children-10-10-8, 1dog)was my boyfriends 1st time camping so I was glad this was a nice site to break him in. The weather had been terrible prior to our trip but BOY did the sun shine for our weekend. The swimming pool was just great so we didn't go far as the site was brill for the kids. Showers & toilets were clean and I'm very fussy!
I will most definitely return at some point in time.
