Reviewer: Gary404 11 reviews from this member

 We have just come back from spending 3 nights at this site and as previous reviews have said ,this is a nice site and a great location for visiting Bath. We also stopped at the Dolphin pub after walking to Bath along the tow path. It is a nice walk, we did it one afternoon, the only down side was the drunk tramp people, sitting on the benches as you walked along.

The only down sides to the site is because it is situated near a very busy road, it is noisy at night with speeding traffic and police cars. It is expensive ,even off season £19.75 a night.But in saying that if we was to go to Bath again we would use this site again.

Reviewer: Tyreman1 10 reviews from this member

 Great site,a ll hardstanding, clean and very tidy. Toilet and showers were kept very clean and warm. Plenty of water and grey water disposal sites dotted about. Ideal site for visiting Bath as there's a bus park and ride service across the road. Only down side is its quite expensive £18.75 for two adults with electric hook up but I`d definitely use it again

Reviewer: BigMona 96 reviews from this member

 This site is open all year round so it made a great out of season stay for us. The site itself is completely hard standing so ideal for winter touring. Even though the facilities are not to the standards of the big clubs, they are clean and warm.
There are two pubs within walking distance and we tried both. The Dolphin was our favourite. The site also sits alongside the Bath to Bristol cycle path, a 13 mile dedicated path to cyclists and walkers connecting the two cities. We thought this was awesome.
OK there is some background noise from this site but this is what you expect from any site in residential areas. Perhaps one downside for me was the price, £19 per night off season but there again you are paying for the location. We must have liked it here as we have already booked to return.

Reviewer: Julie Wilson 1 review from this member

 Booked late for August Bank Holiday, then read the reviews - so a bit concerned about noise and toilet facilities. Arrived when dark but found our info waiting in an envelope at reception. Shame when they did not stipulate informal pitching was allowed as the bushes prevented uniformity and caused us a few nettle rashes in the dark (Pitch 26). Still it gave us something to laugh about the next day being novices.

Toilets blocks were warm and clean, showers a little slow. Water, waste and refuse points close at hand. If you want to use a TV take an Ariel with you to connect to the antenna.

Walked along the tow path to Bath and had a pint at the Dolphin on the way back. I wouldn’t fancy the walk at night– not even with a torch, however access is available by road. If you walk the other way along the tow path you pass the Marina, but can only view from the bridge before arriving at The Boat House. We spent 4 nights here and left a little after the time we should have without complaint. Will definitely go back.

 We loved this site. This was our first ever time away in our new motor home and we could not have picked a better site. Lovely welcome, nice park for the kids. We walked in to Bath from site along canal - lovely stroll. The toilets and showers we used were spotless and lovely and warm. Pitches good size, plenty of privacy on our pitch. The only down side was the cost, add the kids, fiamma awning and late check out and we spent £35. Have to say we have failed to find a site we liked this much since though - so maybe you get what you pay for.

 Great all round site although gents toilets and showers could do with a bit of a revamp a bit dated but I must say clean stayed on this site because of its close proximity to the Bath to Bristol cycle path. Cycled into Bath first from the campsite about 2 miles as my wife and I found this most enjoyable and easy we decided to double back and cycle all the way to the centre of Bristol as the harbour fez was on with all the tall ships and lots going on. A round trip of about 38 miles which we coped with easily even though we are both in our 50's and new to this cycling lark.
Nice pub called The Bird in Hand on the way for refreshment and in our case on the way back, with excellent food all said and done a great site for visiting Bath and for novice cyclists like us. Would definitely go back again.

Reviewer: Whacker 16 reviews from this member

 We have visited this site several times over the last couple of years, mainly because we like the close proximity to the city centre [40 minute walk] and the Bath > Bristol cycle path which runs along side the Marina. There is a park and ride bus service few hundred yards from the site for those that don't fancy the walk into town.

Sadly the site facilities have slowy become delapitated over the last few years. There seems to be limited maintenance carried out in the gents facilities. One of the toilet blocks is in a terrible state of repair. The other block is only just adequate. Although the controller says that the ladies facilities are acceptable

I wonder why they allow the site to fall into this state, they have lots of visitors and the fee is not cheap, we paid £21 per night .Wish they would reinvest some of the money.

Still we will continue to visit this lovely city.Fantastic place for shopping and watching buskers.

 A good site to visit bath, but the 45 min walk along the river to bath takes 65 mins not very pleasant - people along there were down and outs drinking cider. The park and ride does not run on Sundays but the ordinary buses run every half hour. We did not eat at the boathouse as food finishes at 8 on Sundays, however we went to the Dolphin. It didn't look much of a place however we were the only people eating there good service and the meal was around £65.O0 for 4 of us and was better than the meal we had in bath for £140.00 the night before. Will go there again, toilets and showers were spotless, the only complaint was trying to undo the showers in the dark.

Reviewer: Tophatter 23 reviews from this member

 Perfect site for visiting Bath. The welcome was very pleasant and helpful. The pitches were concrete with electric hook-up. The toilet facilities were a good standard and heated. We only stayed one night but as far as I could see it looked to have most camper facilities. The Park & Ride is opposite the site, it doesn't run on Sunday. You could also walk the canal tow path, which isn't the most picturesque walk. Definitely would stay here again when visiting Bath.

Reviewer: Sarahscarer 5 reviews from this member

 This was our second weekend visit to this site which is easily accessible for site-seeing in Bath. The site is quite large and all of the pitches are tarmac. There are lots of trees and on some pitches erecting an awning would be a bit of a challenge.

Location is great. Directly opposite is a park and ride service into Bath. Alternatively, if you have a bit more energy, you can access the canal tow path directly from the site and walk all the way along the canal into the city centre.

A couple of pubs are within walking distance. It has to be said, they are not the greatest. Also very easily accessible is the Bristol to Bath cycle path from which the Bird in Hand and Jolly Sailor pubs (Saltford) are well worth a visit.

Good site, facilities OK to good, location fantastic.

 Good site, friendly welcome, spacious pitches clean and acceptable toilet facilities. Handy location for Park and Ride into Bath City Centre or alternatively pleasant walk along river that takes about 45 mins, although walking back in snow was different if a little cold as don't expect to catch a taxi in Bath at closing time on a Saturday night.

Would definitely recommend this as a good stopover site for one or two nights to see Bath, however, slightly lacks character to sustain a weeks holiday.

Reviewer: Mcneillmalcolm 8 reviews from this member

 Direction to the site was so easy and the entrance impressive and on entering the site we found it reflected the whole site. Reception was helpful, level hardstanding site, easy hock-up and a heated shower block clean and tidy.

We took the walk into Bath along the canal path and it took exactly the time stated. The weather was so good to us which makes all the difference, and, although I tried to prevent it, the wife managed to spend a few bob around the shops. I forgot Bath Rugby was playing home so missed that, I was thinking what I could eat at the pub later on that night.

The Dolphin had an excellent menu and business was brisk, so, as we were rather famished after all the walking, we decided to eat early. Good job, for as we left, nearly every table had gone.

As this site is open all year round this will be ideal for making note for future returns. 


Date of Visit: July 2005 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Rgatsall 2 reviews from this member

 We had visited this site previously when arriving in Bath after 5pm and the instructions were to chose a pitch and see reception in the morning.

We enjoyed this site and its location being so close to bath. There is a co-op not too far away and all amenities were quite standard. Therefore on our next visit to Bath we decided to stay here again, however the trip was not planned in advance but we thought as last year we could pitch and araange things in the morning there were no instructions to advise us otherwise as we checked at reception.

However when we had pitched the tent and just happened to walk past reception much later about 9pm we noticed someone had placed a message on the whiteboard in the window which was not there earlier. It read 'No Tents'.

Maybe the kindest explanation is that they didn't realise we were there and were late putting the sign out. But somehow I don't believe this to be the case.

Because there was no-one to speak to (the mystery sign placer had vanished)we had to make a descision we did not want to stay where no tents but were quite annoyed that no-one stopped us even though we were obviously seen, so we stayed and went to pay in the morning. We apologised and explained our situation but who we spoke to was very aggressive and unwilling to listen that there was no sign originally.

I know we were at fault and it made two young inexperienced campers a bit more aware of not arriving too late at a camp site or book in advance. But the site suddenly became very unappealing due to their attitude.

Reviewer: Barry Fisher 11 reviews from this member

 Update on my 2003 report - still a recommended site, but although some improvements have taken place in the toilet blocks (showers and washbasins upgraded), the low level of day-to-day routine maintenance is disappointing.

As may be expected from a city site, there is always background noise - planes flying into Bristol airport, main roads 100 yds away to the north and the south of the site, and the mainline train line to Bristol the other side of the river. Nothing untoward - just don't expect complete peace and quiet. 


Date of Visit: April 2004
Reviewer: joanne21 2 reviews from this member

 Visited in April, not a bad site as mentioned before. Toilets/showers a little old but adequate. Caught park and ride into Bath but it doesn't run on Sundays so you have to walk into town along the river.

The trip up the river is nice - kids enjoyed it. Also the baths were a brilliant place to visit and both kids aged 8 and 12 loved it. Followed by posh tea and scones in the tea rooms.
