Have stayed here 3 times before as it has good facilities, good value and very convenient for Bath.
Just one complaint this time. We were there for the Bath 1/2 marathon and the site was full. Unfortunately only one ladies shower room was available leaving only 2 showers for around 80 pitches. Also the time given on the push button showers was ridiculously short - about 2 seconds absolute max. To wash your back by the time you turned around it was stopped!
Oh dear what a disappointment in terms of facilities this site is! Beautiful location and brilliant for getting into Bath but very non committal at book in. One toilet block had just been demolished and only Portakabin type are going to replace it. One working shower for each sex in the other block and one washing up sink only for 80 pitches! Grass v long and general air of neglect. Perhaps they don't care as most people only visit once.
Stayed here for the Bath Christmas Market. Very nice site, staff were excellent and very helpful. This site was busy because of the market but the facilities were always clean and plenty of hot water. There is a short walk from the reception along the river and under the A4 road bridge to Newbridge park & ride. No need to cross the busy A4. Very good bus service from here to the city centre. Will definitely go back next year in spring or summer as a great base for exploring the area.
Stayed here for 3 nights to visit Bath and the Bath Christmas Market. Yes the toilets blocks are a bit dated but they are warm and clean and I agree with the reviewer below it does look a bit like a French Camping Aire but with more facilities. Personally I think it is more akin to a French Camping Municipal Campsite. As motorhome owners visiting in winter this site is great with proper hard standing, 16 amp electricity and easy access and a park & ride less than 10 mins walk away! What more would we want? If you enter the site via the A36 through Bath allow a bit of extra time as it gets busy and follow the site instructions not your satnav.
We didn’t try any of the pubs previously mentioned but we did eat at the Handmade Burger Restaurant in Bath and we would recommend it, friendly staff and good food.
We will definitely visit again hopefully in warmer weather when we can use our bikes and do some walking.
I agree why are there not more sites like this in the cities and towns in our country? Both the site, local businesses and Bath itself were benefiting greatly from a financial viewpoint. …Ah yes but of course local council’s don’t want these horrible motorhomes and caravans cluttering up the place do they! Their loss I think.
Why aren't there more sites like this? It's essentially an aire with facilities, on the outskirts of Bath. And such good value - we stayed there in summer 2016 also, when we'd just finished staying in the New Forest where we paid £35 a night for a patch of field and everything was an extra at added cost. Here, you are not charged for dogs, awnings or TV hook up. They even lend you a TV connection cable for goodness sake! For not much over £20 a night, that is excellent value. Add to that its location, just a mile or so from Bath centre, accessed either by towpath or park and ride from just next the site, and it's a no-brainer. Go visit!
This award winning Adults Only campsite has a working 17th century watermill in a peaceful wooded valley within the Exmoor National Park. Grass and hardstanding pitches, all set beside the River Exe or the sparkling mill stream, with electric, water, drainage, and TV hook-ups. A leisurely stroll up to a weir, and an area where dogs may run free and splash in the river.
Facilities include the beautiful dog walk, free wifi, fishing, modern toilet and shower block, dog wash, working watermill (tours on most Sunday mornings), salmon pass on the weir, shop, bus service, and excellent pubs in the locality. The site has beautiful views, an abundance of wildlife and many footpaths leading directly to the Exmoor woodlands and rivers. Find out more here
Having read all the previous reviews I wasn't sure what to expect but we wanted to visit Bath and this seemed the best option. Upon arrival, very friendly reception received with all the information that you would require. Pitch was more than adequate for our folding camper - as for the toilets and showers - don't fear they were fine! Warm, clean with plenty of hot water, if a bit dated. After the discovery of the bus we didn't use our car again but the bus, into and from Bath on many excursions.
In all, a great stay and when we consider attending Bath rugby we may well use this as our base.
First impression wasn't great, looked a bit like a car park. Friendly welcome and given a map to our pitch in the woodland circus area. Small pitch but fine, free wifi is a bonus on the pitches. The toilets and showers are old but clean. Leave the site through a gate and your on the river footpath, turn left and 2 miles later your in Bath city centre turn right and your out in the beautiful countryside. Bus stops at site entrance to Bath or Bristol. 2 nice pubs within a short stroll both of which are dog friendly. Staff on site were really friendly and went above and beyond when we needed them.
Despite first impressions we are already talking about going back!
Last minute booking to break the journey from Devon. Phoned up and was booked in swiftly, Good location as said before, As we were only staying overnight, we didn't get to the pub or a walk down the river. Was quite expensive for what it was but seems popular with German motorhomes.
We visited for 4 days and loved it. It was quite and the pub just a short walk was very good. You can walk into Bath which we did and was a nice walk watching the canal boats go through the locks. The toilets and washing facilities were very clean and yes the showers could do with a make over but hey this is camping, they were hot and clean that's what counts.
Booked by phone and was quoted £42. 60 for 2 nights with EHU by a very pleasant man. On arrival at the site we found checking in was easy, with very helpful staff on reception. We were very pleasantly surprised with the whole site: it was immaculate, very well maintained and had direct access to the canal towpath. Our two doggies - Toby (GSD) and Tilly (Yorkiepoo) were welcomed and fussed by other doggies on site and their equally friendly owners! Yes - there is some traffic noise but it is far from obtrusive and it didn't bother us at all. You can't stay this close to a city and expect total silence! Access to Bath was superb along the towpath - hubby cycled into town Sunday morning while I entertained the doggies! Great bakery nearby - they leave bread in bags outside the shop and you post money through the letterbox! Toilet block is dated but very clean. Lovely play area for children - safe and clean. The Boathouse Pub/Restaurant is in a fantastic spot literally 5 mins stroll from the site. We went there for our Sunday Lunch - sat outside near the water with the doggies. Food arrived cold. OK so we were outside but it was a warm, sunny day. The chicken was tough and tasteless. Roast potatoes were just edible; the 2 small carrots were undercooked (and I like my veg with a bite)and the 'greens' (when I found them) were tasteless and mushy. Not enough gravy - Yorkshire Puddings awful. Considering the location of this place, the Landlord should be making more effort to offer acceptable food at a reasonable cost. Personally, I can truthfully say that I could have cooked a far superior Sunday Lunch in our motorhome for the 5 of us, and wished I had! Cannot let this reflect on the site though - we shall return, without doubt. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Stayed here last week for 3 nights. Easy to find and straightforward check in. Young lady on reception (didn't get her name) was polite and explained everything we needed to know. We easily found our pitch. Concrete hardstanding, which was fine for us. Some of the pitches are quite tight to manoeuvre if you have a larger unit. Site was smaller than I anticipated, but we loved it. Ideal for getting into Bath approx 2 miles and the Boathouse pub a 5 minute walk. Park and ride is also just about a 5 minute walk. We were here for cycling so getting on the cycle path was ideal. We cycled to Bristol one day, a lovely tarmac route and Bradford on Avon the next day along the very pretty canal towpath. Showers and toilets on site were very clean when we used them and didn't seem to be particularly busy. We didn't have to queue, although the campsite was full. We would recommend this site and will definitely be going back.
Stayed here in August 2016 for one night in a motorhome where the pitch was pre-booked. I booked a main site large pitch but on arrival ended up being given main site small pitch with no explanation why it had been changed? Envelope left outside reception on our arrival. Site grounds were clean but the toilets & showers were dated & quite dirty & smelly! On a positive note, the site is nicely located right next to the tow path which is ideal for running, walking or cycling & leads into Bath City Centre.
Had a 2 night stay to visit Bath. Easy access to the site, friendly staff, concrete hard standing pitch. Toilets could do with some repair/updating as they are a little run down but were clean. Washing up area ok. Pitches were a little close together, but we have seen worse. Good base to visit Bath as others have said. We walked in as we like walking but you could use the bus or cycle in. The Boat house pub does reasonable food at a reasonable price & it's only a short walk from the site.
Spent a week here, on arrival a sign says 'no tents' but we did see some here. After reading reviews, we rang and asked how many toilets in total there were. Sick of going to sites which do not have enough. The man told us '18' total, mens and womens. There are two toilet and shower blocks, 2 mens and 4 womens toilets in each, two toilets that are locked at the outside of reception, presumably for canal boat users, and disabled toilets at each block; I make that 16, Mr smarty pants obviously included the staff toilets in the office. All pitches are hard standing, in that they are concrete, so if you have an awning, you have to think about where you position it. Never used the showers; I looked at both blocks and all I saw was wet floors and long dark hairs, lots of them, stuck all over the floor. Reminded me of public toilets. On the last day, someone had stolen a toilet seat from the mens.
Care needs to be taken as the pitches are close together, we were in the larger pitches near the road, lucky no one was across from us when manouvering our caravan in.
Bizarrely check in time is 12pm, and so is check out time! Fun and games. We came in following south of the river through Bath, but when we left it was from the A4 or Bristol Road and over the bridge (where we saw The Boathouse Pub), much less stressful, and busy this way.
We walked up to the pub, 'The Boathouse' average pub food and great location. Go to the left of reception and turn right on the path, easy 10 minute walk. We never drove into Bath, but caught taxis, just under £10 one way. Park and ride is very close by. We went to London for the night from the train station, Lacock village, Corsham, Fairleigh Hungerford Castle and Cheddar.
2nd visit. I have read a lot of reviews about rude staff on here but I have to say Robyn, who booked us in, was really lovely and helpful and made us feel more than welcome. Our TV lead was too short so they lent us one rather than selling us one for £15. Thank you.
We stayed 3 nights across the road from the public play park and field. This was ideal to exercise the dogs and was really quiet at night.
Nice, clean pubs nearby with good food, if a little expensive.
Lidl and a new M&S is a short bike ride along the river towards Bath if you wish to stock up but Chelsea Road along the main road has lots of local facilities such as cafes, hairdressers etc.
Apparently the 'Two Tunnels' bike ride is a must! We didn't do it as we didn't have time but will be sure to do it next time.
Would stay again.
