My wife and I with 3 little doggies visited this site for a week in may this year. What a brilliant location.
Two hundred yards from the park and ride and the buses run into Bath every 10 to 15 minutes seven days a week. Whilst we were in a caravan it is a motor homers dream.
Facilities are a bit dated but very clean and the staff are extremely helpful. Good park alongside for great dog walks and a pub, The Boathouse along the tow path about 400 yards. Walk the other way and you are in Bath in 50 minutes. Television signal can be hit and miss depending what type of aerial you have but there is tv aerial point on your electric hook up post so a cable about 20 meters will suffice or you can buy one in the shop at reception for a tenner.
We stayed a few nights on the site as we wanted to visit Bath, and this site is in a very good location. The park and ride is a five minute walk, or the river walk takes about 50 minutes.
As we entered the site, the road was badly in need of resurfacing. There are an awful lot of trees, which blocked out the sun on the pitch we had. The grounds were not very well kept, lots and lots of weeds everywhere. And the grass round our pitch was pitted with holes, not visible, but dangerous to walk on.
There are 64 pitches here, and 2 shower/toilet blocks. The ladies block I used had only 2 showers, and the first morning people were waiting to use the shower. The facilities were clean, but we felt inadequate for the number of people on the site.
There were also a few very old dirty caravans on site, which looked like they had been there for many years.
At a cost of £26. 50 per night, we felt we had been ripped off. A very overpriced site, the only recommendation being its location.
Approach easy access, direction on the website are fine, sat nav took us the right route as well.
Check in - everything explained well, the shop is open until 5pm - after that they leave your pitch number in an envelope.
Pitch - we booked a large pitch with awning, to be honest it was a bit tight, and the main criticism would be we booked a hard standing pitch and the caravan was on hard standing - a concrete slab, so the awning would be on grass, our awning pitch was not only fairly muddy but sloping, so we didn't bother putting it up in the end. We had electric hookup and a TV hook up, but the signal was a little intermittent.
Facilities - the showers were warm, clean, plenty of hot water, but they are tired and need updating. This site is not tranquil, it's on the main A4 two miles from a city so you wouldn't expect it to be, there is no lack of trains, planes and automobiles !
Local area - we went for the Bath Christmas markets and this site is ideal for that, Bath is a 2 mile walk along a tow path or you can get the park and ride just a short walk from the site. The boat pub serves good food again a short walk from the site. There is a general store 10 minutes from the site as well.
In summary - this is a large site just outside of bath, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The site is let down by the lack of investment from british waterways, it really needs updating and tidying up. The main issue I have is this site is not worth £26. 00 a night, compared to other sites charging that much this site certainly needs improving. I think most people stay at this site one or two nights, just to visit bath, we have never seen so many motor homes on one site, the site felt more geared towards motorhomes and one night stops, which is a shame.
We have just spent 3 days here and would not hesitate in recommending this site. The reception was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The hard-standings are great especially as we had a couple of days of heavy rain. The shower blocks were warm and the showers had plenty of hot water for everyone. The canal walk was muddy but we were prepared and enjoyed the walk into Bath. The Boathouse Inn was friendly and really good food at a very reasonable price and just a short walk along the canal path. We recommend the roast dinner! The Dolphin pub is quite a way further and was not as welcoming as the Boathouse. (No food after 4. 00pm on Sundays) We will visit this site again and do not hesitate to recommend it.
The site is in an excellent location just 2 miles from Bath, you can walk via road or canal tow path, or there is good bus service nearby. The shower and toilet facilities are utilitarian but in good order and always clean. The site itself needs some TLC as the tree branches are so low in places they catch the top of the caravan which would not be a problem if you could choose your own pitch, we had to break the end of the branches off, as others had obviously done. The trees also are so overgrown that they make the site feel dark and cluttered. The site has a rule of dogs on leads at all times but this does not seem to apply to staff who live on site with large dogs. The clean and waste water points need updating and the chemical toilet emptying point had the sides of the building splashed with disintegrated toilet paper so had obviously not been properly cleaned for some time. The site has the potential to be fabulous if properly managed and maintained, and might then be worth the high site fees. Customer service was variable.
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
Site in good location close to park and ride. Concrete hard standings. Bins overflowing. Showers cold. Washing up area at top of site not working. Drinking water and Grey water point at top of site not working. Toilet blocks poor standard and in dire need of updating. A poor advert for British Waterways.
We have just returned from three nights on this site. The location is really good; the park and ride is just a few minutes walk on the tow path and there are bikes for hire on site. The hardstanding pitches will be excellent all year round, and the facilities are dated but clean and not to far away from any of the pitches. We hired a car for 2 days as there's a car hire place along the road. So much to see and do in this area; we treated ourselves to an afternoon in the Bath Thermae Spa which was fantastic. Wells Cathedral was lovely and we also visited the ss Great Britain in Bristol. We will return.
I arrived on the Friday, very friendly staff, the pitch I was allocated was for a small caravan, despite having reserved a large pitch for my twin axle van. It made it difficult to site the van and even worse to get off the site on the Monday!
The site is near to a main road, which means there is a fair amount of road noise early in the morning and the facilities - were at best 'tired' - nowhere near Caravan Club standards.
The site IS only 2 miles from Bath, which makes it ideal for exploring, but would I say here again? - sadly no, at least not until toilet / shower blocks were refurbished.
Ideal site for visiting Bath. On our arrival on a Friday of the May Day weekend, there was no one to greet us despite arriving before 5pm. There were no envelopes left for us or our friends. We could not make contact with anyone so we just found 2 adjoining pitches and set up.
The gentleman apologised the next morning and did offer a small discount for our inconvenience.
Facilities are tired and for our weekend one toilet block was out of action as there was no hot water.
Great for walking or cycling into Bath or for accessing the Bath to Bristol old railway line which is a fabulous cycle way. The pub nearest the site is excellent and the food was of a good standard.
Would definitely stay here again when we want to visit BAth but would love the toilet/shower blocks to be updated.
We were greeted by a very friendly and informative man on reception, who advised us on all the local info and were made to feel most welcome.
When booking, you have the choice of a small or large pitch, I booked a small pitch which was neat and tidy. I found the pitches a little too close together, my Husband found this a plus and that it created a friendly atmosphere, I like a bit more of a gap but it wasn't a major issue & not intrusive at all.
The toilet blocks and washing up areas are old, but do the job and are are always clean. In fact, the actual showers are new, warm and powerful.
The site is ideally situated for Bath city centre. It's a 40 minute walk via the tow path or the Park and Ride stops just outside & runs every 15 minutes (£2. 50 return ticket). There's also a nice pub a 2 minute walk away which serves food. Just up the road there is a tesco express.
Overall a very nice site, with easy access into Bath. We'd stay again.

We booked an economy campervan pitch - perfect, just a bit away from the main pitches and overlooking the river.
When we arrived receptionist was really friendly and welcoming. Checked us in quickly and efficiently, a great welcome is the first impression of a site and Bath Marina have a great first impression with this lady.
When we arrived we popped out for a walk and very pleasantly surprised when we got back 15 minutes later to find someone had been round swept the twigs and leaves from our pitch.
Yes agree with previous reviews that facilities blocks are old and need updating. Having said that they were clean all weekend despite site being full.
From the site its a 20 minute walk into Bath along either the river path or the cycle path. Alternatively the P&R runs from a few hundred yards outside the site. The Bath - Bristol cycle path (Cycle 4) starts just outside the site. Its 13 miles of tarmac cycle path on an old railway line, traffic free and well worth a cycle or a walk. Just over 5 miles up is the Avon Steam railway and the station at Bitton has a great cafe serving meals and drinks.
We loved this site and if they do invest in the facilities block it will be hard to beat.
We love visiting Bath and the Bath Marina Campsite is very convenient for walking into the city or using the Park and Ride bus, a short walk across the road. It's easy to access site and is well laid out just next to the canal. The downside is that the facilities are really starting to look tired now. The buildings are in need of refurbishment and hot water was intermittent at one of the blocks (again!) this is a real shame, the staff are very helpful and friendly, it's very well located, but it's now falling well behind the quality of other sites - especially the Caravan Club. Bath Marina - we love your site but it really needs some money spent on it now!
I cannot say enough good things about this place! Firstly, the site is clean, very well maintained with hardstanding spacious pitches that make camping very easy, even in the winter! Good showers, laundry and wash up facilities, a well stocked shop, a great area to walk dogs and a fantastic local pub 'The Boathouse'.
However, what makes it extra special is the customer service. After staying there for one night and then traveling to another site which was pretty low in standards we decided to come back to Bath Marina and Caravan Park. The owner went out of his way to accommodate us and really looked after us without being over bearing. He was professional and attentive and impressed us so much we had to part with a very nice bottle of wine to thank him! Thank you for saving our holiday! :)
The site was very busy as the Christmas markets were on in the town centre and after some initial confusion over pitch allocation, all was fine.
The staff are probably the friendliest we've ever met on any site; most obliging and helpful - especially when one of the shower blocks ran out of hot water!
As mentioned elsewhere, the site is well-located, close to the Park and Ride, which we found expensive at £3. 20 each (whether single trip or return!).
As an example, Shrewsbury is £2. 40 return for up to 5 people!
The location is also great for cycling. We did the Bath to Bristol Railway Path @ 30 miles return, but even better was the recently opened Two Tunnels Route. Access is easy from the towpath, through the 2 tunnels, turn back on Colliers Way to the Dundas Aqueduct and return along the towpath of the Kennet & Avon canal.
Only 15 miles round trip and the scenery is superb.
Must mention we had a great meal in the Dolphin pub, just down the road (or towpath) and following a visit to the Theatre Royal in town, we had a fantastic meal in 'Market', an Italian- themed pub just opposite the theatre.
Really enjoyed our time there and would certainly return.
I've stayed here on several occasions and never fail to leave impressed.
Access is very good, staff very helpful, pitches a good size, site always clean and tidy. The facilities are excellent and always clean and warm, essential for winter visits.
TV reception good, and water dumping and fill very convenient. Good shop, and free newspaper very interesting. Nearby is canal for a 'long' walk into lovely Bath, and 2 good pubs within easy walking distance.
