Bath Marina & Caravan Park
Tucked along the River Avon on the edge of Bath, this campsite is a strategic base for visiting the historic city centers of Bath and Bristol. The site offers spacious, all-hardstanding pitches that many guests find comfortable. A scenic walking and cycling path follows the river directly into central Bath, and a bus stop just 200 meters away provides a 20-minute link to town. The concrete hardstandings are acceptable, but the overall appearance feels tired and outdated. Most feedback strongly criticizes the sanitary facilities, describing them as worn, dirty, and poorly maintained with insufficient capacity. Guests report that cleaning happens only once a day, and bins by the dishwashing area overflow for days, attracting rats. Toilet facilities are basic and in need of modernization, and the chemical toilet area resembles a shed. The Wi-Fi is repeatedly non-functional despite reporting the issue, and the lack of maintenance staff visible during the day adds to the sense of neglect. Pricing is a point of contention, with many feeling the nightly rate drastically outweighs the level of service provided. Tent campers should be aware that the site does not permit tents, a policy that has caused confusion. While a small children's playground exists nearby, it belongs to the local community, not the campsite, and there are no dedicated facilities for babies or young children. The surrounding environment earns high praise: the Avon river path is beautiful, and Bath itself is consistently described as splendid. For short stays of a couple of nights, it serves its purpose, especially for those prioritizing access to Bath. However, the worn facilities and lack of modern touches hold it back from longer visits. Overall, the campsite's location and spacious pitches are its saving graces, but significant shortcomings in cleanliness, maintenance, and facilities leave many visitors disappointed.
