Date of Visit: March 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Kaza65 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for one night so we could visit bath, Although there were plenty of signs for the camp site it was still a little hard to find, One arrival we found a very pleasant well organised site. The toilets we clean and warm, with a key code system to access them. The park and ride was just outside the site, you could walk across the park or round the road or from the tow path and under the bridge (probably better as don't have to cross the road). The buses run every 15 mins into bath £3 return. OAP free with passes. Thought considering it was out of season the site was a bit expensive £25. For Motorhome and 3 adults. Would have liked to have stayed another night so could go into Bath again as half a day isn't long enough.

 Had a two night stay here in dec, it was very cold (canal frozen) but bright. It was just before the snows. Site is well laid out and the showers were clean and hot, also nice friendly reception.

Site appeared busy but on close inspection seemed to be full of stored motorhomes

Location couldn't be better, across the road from the park n ride, you wouldn't want to take a car into bath anyway.

Tried the boathouse pub but found it tatty and depressing and in dire need of refurb.

Across the road is the biggest public (and new) kids playground that I have ever seen

The site was ok considering the weather and time of year but we had the impression that in the summer months it is a truly great site And we will be trying it then

Reviewer: Brooke140 1 review from this member

 We chose Bath Marina site for its proximity to Bath, but found much more than the city to enjoy.

The site is situated on the towpath which leads directly into Bath,and also,close to the main Bus route. It was great for us not to have to use the car,and as the buses are so frequent, and the drivers helpful and informative, we didn't feel stranded at all.

Our pitch was very good indeed. Hardstanding with our own electricity bollard and t.V. Point. Water was close by,and also rubbish bins.

The shower block we used was clean and properly heated.The water was plentiful with proper on/off knob for the shower.The washing up area adequate,again plenty os hot water and light.

The whole site was well laid out,although it was nearly full [in November] it did not feel crowded.

The staff were polite and very helpful. It was a treat to have fresh croissants to pick up from reception every morning.

The local shops in Chelsea Rd are worth visiting.There is the bakery, DVD rental shop, Deli and a Pizza and coffee shop.

We will be returning often throughout the winter.

Reviewer: Ragdoll22 3 reviews from this member

 Good site thought £24.45 per night a little over the top, very nice girl on reception when we arrived felt sorry for her because she had a rather cross chap she had to deal with in front of people waiting to book in, he was going mad about the poor showers but I have to say we never had a problem with them, it was a case of the earlier you got to them the hotter the water, but we where fine.

But I have to say the shower blocks and washing up area are in need of updating. The pitches all seemed quite level ours was spot on they were all well kept. We didn`t use the park and ride but people that did said it was very good. We walked or cycled along the river side which was just outside the gate couldn't of been handier.

We met some of the friendliest people ever on that site giving us lots of advice on motorhoming which was very welcome.

Didn't use local eateries so cant comment on them, excellent shops in bath plenty of choice.

Reviewer: Fiftysomething 18 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for two nights as our daughter was Graduating in Bristol and staying in Bath, so could taxi us around. No problems finding it, but did come in (and go out) 'the long way round', up to the Bristol Ring Road and then in from the west rather than trying to get through Bath, as their directions suggest.

Lots to recommend it: a friendly welcome at Reception which is also a small shop, all concrete pitches which will be particularly useful in the winter (I hope to come back for the Bath Christmas market), clean facilities, about 2 miles from the centre of Bath.

And Bath, as other reviewers have said, is sublime. It has to be visited (again and again) to be fully appreciated.

Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Carol Jean 38 reviews from this member

 Just spent 2 nights here. Firstly we found it a bit difficult to find at first - we drove through a housing estate and kept thinking we were going wrong! Excellent site - very clean and good showers. Bit more expensive than we are used to but what's a few pounds when a site is so well maintained?

The cycle path is just alongside the site so that was great. It didn't take very long to cycle into Bath - I think about 20 minutes or so. First we went to the Boathouse - lovely location with a grassy lawn and by the river but a bit of a rundown pub.

A little playground though so nice for kids and dogs! At night we walked to the Dolphin and again we sat outside for a while (no grass or playground here). We went inside later and had a nice meal -good value. We found the staff extremely pleasant and friendly -something that my partner and I take note of when we go to pubs / restaurants/shops etc. The landlady talked to us lots -and Lorcan the barman was very nice and friendly.

Its a long time since I've been to Bath but I think it must be the most beautiful city in England. We visited the Roman Baths and then went on the open topped buses. We had lunch at a little Mexican restaurant near the oldest house in Bath -the Sally Lunn house. But I always thought Sally Lunns had currants in and icing on-the ones in the window looked quite unappetizing!

Reviewer: Welsh Mel 9 reviews from this member

 We had a wonderful visit at this site, just a short walk to the park and ride, so no problems parking in the city centre. Buses were regular about £3 return and we spent most of the time in Bath.

At the site, the Staff were helpful and lovely long walks around the site with plenty of birds. The site was quiet, no noise and grounds were well kept, amenities were good. We will be returning this year.

Reviewer: Annie8 4 reviews from this member

 An excellent site - we always stay here when visiting Bath. Location is great - especially for cyclists. Bath - Bristol sustran path is seconds away from the back gate (Bird in Hand pub - really good lunch - 15 mins away on path).

Kennet & Avon canal is easily picked up from the city - very good path along to Bradford on Avon. Park & Ride next door to site if weather is bad.

Always very quiet, showers & toilets OK & good size pitches. Lovely ambience - one of our favourites for a long week-end!

Reviewer: Stevie55 3 reviews from this member

 Re-visited this site, still excellent, good communication with the late booking, arrived late, paperwork waiting for us. All hard standings, electric, and TV (ariel lead required).

Ideal transport links to Bath, Via park and ride across road, £2.50 return, or out of gate via cycle path or tow path

You have your own space, plenty of room, toilets and showers via code key pad, clean and tidy. Local pubs good for food and drink, this is the site if visiting Bath. I will return.

Reviewer: Tinah 6 reviews from this member

 Directions provided were easy to follow and the site is easy to find opposite the Park and Ride west of the city. An excellent site which we would recommend to anyone, mostly because of its convenient location adjacent to the park and ride, river towpath and the Avon cycle route (which is traffic free along a disused railway line).

We used the Boathouse pub as it was such a short walk away via the towpath. We had 2 courses for £8.95. My fish and chips was acceptable but my husband hardly touched his pork casserole so be careful what you choose.

We will certainly use this site again.

Reviewer: Burstner Babes 2 reviews from this member

 VERY easy to find, excellent access. All-weather good hard-standing pitches with EHU/TV socket. Two shower/toilet blocks which are very warm, clean and well-equipped with ample toilet cubicles and wash-basins but only 2 Ladies and 2 Gents shower cubicles in each block. Wash-up facilities good, with piping hot water. Didn't investigate the laundry but there are facilities. Well equipped children's playground. Pleasant walks along the riverbank/marina. Bustling wild bird life (very appreciative of titbits).

Superb Park & Ride bus service into Bath, no more than 5 minutes walk from campsite; every 15 minutes Mon-Fri; every 10 minutes Saturday. £2.50 return ticket but concession passes are accepted (we're OAPs so travelled free!). Local shop and pub within walking distance.

A delightful site which we will definitely be going back to.

Reviewer: Waverley 4 reviews from this member

 This site was the first I'd ever used and it was a good choice.

From arriving 'on spec' to leaving 4 days later it was just what I'd hoped, a very friendly greeting and information about the site and surrounding area freely given.

All the facilities were clean and regularly checked. Although the design of the ladies showers could have been better - water runs across the floor outside the showers and has to mopped so that the danger of slipping was avoided.

Reviewer: Walthams 26 reviews from this member

 Stayed 2 nights in July. Office closed when we arrived but paperwork left outside. Good hardstandings of various sizes - just what we need in the pouring rain! Landscaped with regular service points as well as EHU and TV to each pitch.

Loo blocks good and clean

Park and ride into Bath conveniently across the road. Ate at the Dolphin - good value for money. Both the Dolphin and the Boathouse can be accessed from the tow path

Reviewer: Gemma1675 46 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for two nights and were very pleased with the site. It was a last minute choice for us. A lot of reviews for this site say it is expensive but I promise you it isn't when compared to other sites in the area!
Anyway our pitch was large and flat, the facilities block was clean and modern. It was 2.5 miles into Bath city centre; we took bicycles and it was an easy, pleasant cycle along the canal. We will definitely be back.

Reviewer: Buberluggs 5 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for the first time, used the budget pitch, enough room for my motorhome which is 22ft long, although these pitches are under trees so expect the usual bird mess and squirrels. For the price you would expect a little more care on site my pitch was full of branches and twigs, asked at reception for a broom to sweep pitch
The toilet blocks could do with an upgrade, only 2 blocks on site each with only 2 showers in each, take flip flops into showers as they have no shower mats and are very slippery
The walk into bath along the canal takes about 45 mins, it's a nice walk but there was a lot of litter and debris along the way, there are 2 pubs en route, the dolphin is ok for a pint, but if you want good pub grub you have the boat house which is in the opposite direction, turn right at canal entrance
The site is close to main road but didn't find this a problem, good dog walk close by, a good site for visiting bath, but again for the price it could be much better.
