 While I agree with many aspects of other reviews eg ideal location, friendly helpful office staff I feel I must make some adverse comments.
I did find the toilet block to be tatty on the outside but felt they were equally tatty on the inside. I would say that they are much in need of a makeover.
I spent five nights on site and after but three the bins were full to overflowing and the drains beside the washing up area smelt unpleasant to say the least.
Having said all that I did enjoy my stay thanks to some lovely weather and the ease with which you could get in and out of Bath

Postcode on the satnav was spot on and very easy access from the A4.
Office staff man very friendly and helpful. Pitch on hardstanding pre allocated and precise.
Toilets excellent and on a key code access. Bit tatty from outside but superb and clean on the inside.
Go out of gate, turn left along tow path and 30mins plus and you are in centre of Bath. The towpath is muddy in places and can be a bit tatty, but no different from any city centre. The Abbey is worth a visit along with free museum, Holbourne Art museum on Great Poultney Street, along from the bridge.
There is pub to the right of the site next to the Park and Ride.
We would go again if in the area

A pleasant site next to the river Avon in an excellent location for visiting Bath with a Park & Ride a few minutes walk from the site.
Good size hard standings. The toilet block was clean but unfortunately one ladies shower dribbled out water, the other missed the mark! On the positive side the water was always hot.
The caravan site staff were helpful and friendly and rang us at home before we left to inform us of the reduced office opening hours.
A pub serving really good food was just a few minutes walk along the towpath but could also be accessed by walking along the path beside the road, which we did as the towpath was muddy.

We booked this site as we wanted to visit the Christmas Market in Bath and came unstuck trying to use the Park&Ride a couple of years ago as it was full on two occasions, so decided to book early so we could walk to it this time. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and given information about the buses and surrounding area. The P&R is great to use and so easy from the site. We used it all 3 days and couldn't fault it at all.
The site consists of concrete hard standings without any character at all, although there is a bit of grass between pitches and the odd tree. That said as we were only there for 3 nights it was fine. Weekends tend to be busy so early booking is advisable. It was full Fri/Sat with only a few spaces available on the Thursday when we arrived.
The toilet blocks didn't look anything special from the outside but they were spotless and really warm (didn't understand a previous comment saying they needed updating). We did find the road noise a bit loud, especially first thing in the morning on Friday, but this could be because we live in a quiet area in Devon and not used to hearing traffic.
The TV signal isn't great so you will need a lead to plug into the electric box. This can be hired from reception (if available) but if you're staying more than 3 nights you can buy it cheaper.
This is a great site for visiting Bath and I'm sure we will return again.

This is a brilliant site with excellent bus links and a park and ride on the doorstep.
nice walk along the tow-path although the time of year made it a bit boggy with the rain we had.
Toilets very clean and cleaned regularly.
The receptionist was very friendly and let us pick a different pitch as we couldn't get satellite tv on the original pitch.
A few long termers there by the look of them but not intrusive.
Bath is a lovely city with plenty of things to do would definitely use this site again

We have just returned from a four day break at this site.
We arrived after the office was closed and there was an envelope for us on the late arrivals board which gave us all the info we needed to pitch up.
The pitches are hard standing and most are tree covered. We did not use the awning. The site instructions are that you can pitch any way round on your pitch. Unusual I thought.
We ventured to The Boathouse pub which is about a five min walk along the towpath. The Sunday lunch was nice but a tad pricey at £12. The pub is beside the river and has a nice decked area.
Bath is about two miles along the towpath, about 45 mins walk. Quite pleasant well used and tarmacked for most of the way.
There are many things to see and do in Bath. Three days was enough to see most of it. We took the big red bus open topper which was £12 each but that was for two days use.
The Roman baths are a must see. We also went to the Thermae Spa for the afternoon which was also nice and relaxing.
You are spoilt for choice with the amount of different restaurants and shops. All sorts to tempt you.
There is another pub along the towpath back to the site named The Dolphin. We only had a drink there but it is in need of a lot of TLC and a repaint. We did not see anyone eating there but the site info states good food. Cannot comment.
The last reviewer mentioned about the in gate always being up and the drive upto out gate. This is true but it did not cause us any problems.
To end I would say that the site is well positioned, reasonably priced, the toilets and showers need updating but were always clean and tidy.

Excellent site for visiting Bath attractions. Reception were efficient and well organized, pitch was already designated although we requested a change as we appeared to have the only pitch with disintegrating concrete base and last persons oil leak remnants including oily rags.
Change of pitch was granted without fuss and apology made. The facilities all have coded entrance doors and are clean although basic.
Entrance to the site did appear to be a bit lax with the barrier permanently in the open position with the potential for anyone entering being to be unchallenged. Equally on exit any vehicle was able to drive up to the barrier and it just rose automatically unchallenged.
We did attempt to use the nearby park and ride but were astonished that the bus driver would only accept the correct fare and did not give change.
All in all a good base for visiting sights of Bath and would recommend the site.

We stayed at this caravan site for the bank holiday weekend and surprisingly it wasn't busy at all. First impression: an old council-owned caravan site with concrete pitches and old looking toilet blocks.
The lady at the reception was kind and gave us the information needed. Despite having loads of empty spaces, we were given a minuscule pitch with awkward access to it: it was impossible reversing the caravan into it.
The toilets were very clean but in need of an update. Nice the canal and marina within the park. There was a big children play area too. Lovely pub next to the site and very handy park&ride bus stop (£2. 50 per adult) just 3mins away. Nonetheless, for the high price of the bus service we decided to park in Bath city centre.
Overall a decent caravan site, but definitely not up to of 'Caravan Club' sites standards.

The site was busy over Bank Holiday - pitches concrete rectangles in grass, mainly under trees, adequate for motorhomes, but I would imagine pretty tight for some caravans.
2 showers, only 1 was open until the friday evening - ok, but it floods the place!
Would be very pleasant in hot weather - we got rain. Boathouse pub a few minutes away, quite swanky, but we waited over 45 minutes for a seafood platter (only 1 hot item. )
We used the excellent bus service in/out of town (not the park and ride, which finishes at 8pm) slightly dearer, but last service 11pm (later in Uni term time)which allows you to eat in town.
Good location, but needs work done on drainage in showers!

This site was really fantastic. The pitches were quite spacious and the site clean and well kept.
The reception staff were helpful, and the toilets and showers were really clean. There's also a great play park just across the road.
A short walk away is Newbridge Park & Ride which goes into Bath, where there's loads to do, from great shopping to world class attractions; I would highly recommend the Roman Baths.
This is an amazing site for visiting Bath, and it would have been great to stay longer.

My husband and I have used this park for several years for long weekends. The walk into Bath along the towpath especially on a lovely day is wonderful. The Park & Ride is minutes away and you get to it along the tow path. During wet weather its just a little further going by public footpath out of the site.
So far as the toilet block is concerned, it is adequate but certainly needs updating. The water overflows into a drain outside of the shower. I must say that I do not use the facilities as I prefer to use our own - however, my husband goes to the toilet block and says its 'OK'.
The site itself is kept clean and tidy with lots of trees and grass. The wardens are very helpful and pleasant and are quite happy for you to pitch in a way where you can put an awning on the surrounding grass as the pitches are concrete. The shop is pretty well stocked with most immediate requirements.
We very rarely eat out so we cannot comment on this.
They have upgraded the television reception for which there is a main hook up and you need your own lead. They may even supply them but you would need to enquire on this point. We have excellent reception.
We will continue going there as we are very happy with the site and of course, Bath itself is a fantastic city with so much to see.

We have just spent 3 nights at this site. Check in was easy and the lady was very pleasant. They sell basic items but only sell UTH milk. You can order bakery items for delivery the next day. The pitches are a little tight. The trees between the pitches would make it difficult to both put up an awning. And park a car. Shower and toilet block was clean.
The closest pub is the Boathouse but is still under renovation. It is due to reopen in June so should be ready soon. There is a pub - The Dolphin - which is a 15 minute easy walk.
There is a Park and Ride into Bath across the road to the site or you can walk in along the towpath. It is a 45 minute easy walk.
TV, satellite TV, internet and phone reception were all good.
I would recommend this site as it is so close to Bath and there is so much to see.

Site excellent with good bus services to Bath and Bristol, 3 minutes walk away. Quiet level site with trees. Childrens playground and large grass area next to site. On river with towpath and cycleways.
Not good for motorhomes as all water points on lefthand side of one-way road system (British motorhomes normally have water filler on right-hand side), meaning you had to turn round and go against the traffic to get next to the tap. Also no grey water dump station, all that was available were small raised collecting points, adjacent to water taps. Fine for caravan cassetts but not suitable for motorhomes.
Quite an expensive site, would use it again, but only for a couple of days.
Didn't use toilet block as we are self-contained.
Would have used local pub. But closed for refit.
Didn't use local shops, but they were about 8 minutes walk away.

Having read previous reviews, we were looking forward to our stay at Bath Marina Caravan Park. However, whilst we found the site adequate, we felt we would have been disappointed with the service and facilities had the site not been in the fabulous location of Bath.
For a start, the nightly charge for our caravan plus awning for a family of four was a whopping £32.95, which we thought was very expensive. Previous reviewers have commented about the hard standings, and the double width of these concrete bases caused us problems erecting our awning. We ended up pushing our caravan to the back of the hardstanding with the towbar in the bushes just so that we could put the door side next to the grass and therefore erect our awning.
Whilst this was ok as we didn't always have neighbours, our unit was very close to some of the adjoining pitches, certainly within the recommended 6 metres suggested by caravanning organisations. The shop was also poorly stocked, selling only a very small selection of basic food items.
The only milk available was longlife . Also, if you are a light sleeper, you may find the traffic noise disturbing as the site is located between the main A4 Bath to Bristol road and another main road into Bath (the location of the Newbridge Park and Ride), adjoins the River Avon, and has the railway within earshot too.
On a more positive note, the electric hook up and tv connection posts were excellent, though you do need a digital tv to be able to watch television. And there were lots of water, waste water and rubbish disposal points all over the site.
Despite all our moans and groans, we still had a great holiday as there are so many fabulous places to visit in and around Bath, and we did enjoy cycling out of the site back gate along the towpaths of the River Avon and Kennett + Avon Canal to Bathampton (Nice pub called the George in Bathampton which made a good resting place for a meal and a drink before turning around to cycle home.)
If we do visit this area of the country again though, we'd probably try to find another site.

We stayed for two nights (Friday and Saturday) at a quiet time when the weather was unusually sunny for April. The lady at the site office was friendly and we set up on the concrete pitch which proved to be quite hard on the knees of a two year old.
Loos and shower blocks were fine as were other facilities. There was a good council playground next to the site for the little one.
We shopped in the Morrisons on the other side of town. For our trip to town on Saturday we used the nearby 'park and ride' at 2.50 per adult to avoid parking in Bath.
The Boathouse pub, subject of a few previous reviews, was closed for its reported long overdue refurbishment. It was a 12 minute walk down the towpath to the Dolphin Pub which did good simple food. There was a pleasant walled garden beside the towpath with a small childs play area. Bit shocked at the price of a pint of Stella at £3.80.
All in all a good weekend with a visit to a beautiful town.
