 Our first time at this site. Recommended by a friend.

Quick and easy book in the staff were very friendly and helpful with local information.

Our pitch was good and plenty of room for our motor home. Showers and toilets are in a porta cabin but were very clean and the showers were free. It was very quiet at night.

The Boathouse pub is less than 10 mins walk along the river bank.

The park and ride is the other side of the Boathouse pub and it’s an excellent service to Bath city centre.

Overall the site was very good, well kept and litter free.

We’re planning to go back for the Xmas market.

 Very tired site. Lack of security allowed a group of drunk youths to come in and use the facilities and then walk through the site.

Portacabin toilet block was awful, it was dirty, smelly and there was no temperature control on the showers and the water was scalding. The water in the shower didn't drain quickly enough and you were left standing in a pool of water. The taps in the sinks were so powerful you got soaked just washing your hands.

It's location is it's saving grace so close to beautiful Bath, 30 minute walk along the river and great local cycling.

 Site situated on the edge of Bath. Good location and close to the city centre.

The facilities are clean and the ground well maintained.

Good transport links into the city centre, the Bristol & Bath cycle way and the Avon & Kennet canal.

Reviewer: Ritchieroo 21 reviews from this member

 Fabulous location right on the canal and the park and ride is 6 or 7 minutes walk away. Pitches are not huge where we were, check if you have a large unit. Our 7m motorhome overhung the grass quite a bit.

Facilities - basic but clean. Showers are hot and powerful. Seems to be more common these days to have the rubbish bins at the site entrance.

Shop sells a few basic snacks and drinks, can t remember if they sold camping essentials.

Can be a little bit of traffic noise during the day but generally peaceful.

30 mins walk into Bath city centre along the canal, we got the bus back.

Reviewer: Grangranathome 1 review from this member

 Good site. Pitches are adequate but access to the pitch is narrow. The grass on our pitch could have done with a cut. Behind our pitch was a group of trees which appear to have been used as a dumping ground for rubbish and garden waste. This needs to be cleared.

The toilet block nearest to our pitch by the exit needs a lot of work to bring it up to scratch. The toilets are smelly. The showers do not drain so ended up standing in a couple of inches of soapy water.

On the plus side the site has great access to public transport for days out to Bath and Bristol. Easy to get onto river Avon towpath for a pleasant stroll.

Will not be rushing back

Reviewer: Kernow Camper 215 reviews from this member

 We were recommended this site by some friends as we wanted to re-visit Bath.

They did say it wasn't 5* but we take as we find.

Really warm, friendly welcome and given lots of information about the site and surrounding area.

Nice big hardstanding pitch with EHU and TV hook up.

We were almost in the middle of the 2 'facilities' blocks, so very handy.

We used the 'portacabin' block and it was always clean but definitely needs upgrading. Showers were VERY small and I found it difficult to shower and dry, etc. I do prefer site with privacy cubicles but that's just a personal thing.

Very limited re-cycling and bins near the other block were VERY full.

On our first evening there were a couple of kids riding round and round the site after 8pm (once the wardens had gone home?!) on mini motorcycles almost in the dark! Thankfully they had gone the next day, so hardly any point in reporting?

On the plus side you can walk into Bath from the site, along the river, past a pub. There is also another pub close by. We didn't use as the latest reviews weren't great. The park and ride into the city is also close by (5/10 minute stroll) and was well priced at £5. 60 for 2 adult returns. Buses every 15/20 minutes.

Bath is a beautiful city and we found plenty to do.

The best thing about this site is location but would we stay again? Only if the facilities were upgraded.

Reviewer: Geoff48 38 reviews from this member

 I've previously been to this site and returned this year as we wanted to visit the Christmas market in Bath. The site was tidier than I'd previously seen.

The toilet blocks had been a little refurbed and the one I used did have an heater. The basins for handwashing are quite small and turning the tap required some care to avoid being splashed the entrance door opens outward and on one occasion the handle came off which resulted in me being trapped in for a few minutes.

The site roads are tarmac most pitches are concrete based putting an awning up would have been difficult.

The waste bins are at the exit though this isn't mentioned in the welcome pack. No guidance for what could be recycled so it is mainly guesswork.

Access is quite good there are speed bumps so keeping the speed down is advisable. The site roads to the pitches are narrow and the pitches generally are quite small. It couldn't fit my 6. 46m van and I had to overhang on to the grass area at the rear of the caravan.

Television reception is really bad, its worth pointing out that the ehu's have ariel co-ax points. Perhaps I was unlucky that the one for my pitch didn't work.

The nearest pub/hotel The Boathouse was a short stroll away I called in for a pint and for me the place lacked atmosphere, the Locksbrook relatively near but a little further away was a better choice.

We had frost when we stayed this did ice up the drinking water points and on one occasion the CDP water pipe for cleaning the cassette. If you use the dishwashing facilities beware of the low headroom,

The staff were friendly and helpful and the proximity to the Park and ride is an important asset. One mention about the Park and Ride access, if you have a wheelchair or mobility scooter don't be tempted by the shortcut via the riverbank do use the site entry and exit point.

This could be an excellent site but this would mean larger pitches, maybe that would result in fewer ones and larger modern brick built amenity blocks.

This sounds like a negative review it isn't meant to be and the bottom line is I would go again.

 Stayed for 3 nights last week. Good location next to the Avon with a pub a few hundred yards away on the river and P+R next to the pub. P+R is about 10 minutes into Bath centre

We only used the toilet block nearest to us which was a portacabin with 3 showers and 2 toilets. The site was about 3/4 full, the facilities were never too busy and kept clean

Staff were friendly and helpful,

I would definitely return when back to visit Bath.

 Just come back home after a 3 night stay over the Bank Holiday weekend. Great site, great location.

The boathouse Inn, a few minutes walk away although lovely pub for a drink, food wasn't the best to be fair, great beer garden right by the river.

Excellent bus service into Bath centre, probably for us the main reason for staying at this site.

Only little moan is that the shower blocks really could do with improvements, had a job to get wet under the shower but overall really enjoyed.

 There are detailed reviews already so I will keep this one brief.

We've just returned from our first stay here and would definitely stay again, we didn't go down to the old facilities but the more modern ones were perfectly acceptable so I think some of the negative reviews regarding the facilities are not justified.

Although at busier times they may struggle to cope with the volume of people using them.

It's not the cheapest of sites but you are paying a premium for its great location.

All in all we were happy we chose to stay there.
