2 different sites!

Milburn, Andrew - 11/04/2024

We stayed here on a hard standing touring pitch which looks nothing like the pictures, was just gravel over mud unlike the pictures! I know it was wet at the time but there was no drainage etc so all water just ran downhill into awning There apears to be 2 seperate sides to this site, 1 which is refurbished and the other side which needs a lot of work! The washrooms wanted a good clean, the ones on the grove were supposedly under refurbishment but no work was being carried out. You couldn’t use the gents showers as no hooks or anything to put clothes on except the floor ! If the facilities were upgraded and the touring side was brought up to the standard of the pics etc it would be a good site

Arrived at standard hard standing pitch was covered in mud and grass was rutted and muddy

Hawes, Richard - 09/04/2024

When we arrived at the pitch it was not in a good state, we had friends on a superior pitch where there were spaces, they went to the office and asked if we could upgrade we would have paid the difference, they were told no the pitches were all fully booked for our stay. This was not true there was at least one superior pitch vacant for the whole time we were there. They just could not be bothered to re arrange things for us to move. The pitch we were given was appauling and was covered with mud that had washed down from the camping field above. The toilets had signs on saying they were being refurbished which meant that they had removed all the fittings from the showers so there was no where to hang clothes or towels etc. the showers were mouldy and unclean, as were the toilets. At over £37 a night this is appuling.

My caravan

Denyer-Crane, Marilyn - 09/04/2024

Everything about the campsite was excellent. The only thing I would do differently if I returned would be to book a caravan that didn't allow dogs because there was a strong doggy smell in my caravan.

Easter stay at bucklegrove

Elliott, Lucy - 07/04/2024

5

We really enjoyed our stay in the luxury hot tub holiday home. It was clean and provided everything we needed to stay for a week as international guests. What impressed me the most was the top quality staff. They had fantastic communication leading up to our stay, and went above and beyond when we were there. They provided entertainment every evening and the whole of Easter weekend. My children (3, 5 and 7) loved it. It’s a very comfortable, friendly place and they’ve thought of all the little touches (well stocked shop, laundry facilities and great food) to keep everyone happy. The pool despite being small was warm and clean and my kids happily played in it for 1-2 hours everyday. I highly recommend staying at bucklegrove campground and we will be back!

Lodge grill is great and the food is amazing and good prices drinks are great price too. Owners put every effort in to entertain the kids before main entertainment starts. Views are amazing of the countryside aswell.

Excellent Stay

Our last visit marks our 3rd visit to Bucklegrove and we’ve already got 2 more booked for 2024! We’ve camped and stayed in the static vans for our previous trips and have had the best time. Sally, Gary and the wonderful staff make the our holidays so special. The site’s location is fantastic with a short drive to so many different things to do and see. Each time we’ve done different activities which is pretty unheard of when you go back to the same place on repeat. The site itself feels very safe and clean, with a great clubhouse which provides lovely food and drinks as well as some brilliant entertainment for all ages. We LOVE Bucklegrove!
