Bath Marina and Caravan Park

The morning mist lifts off the Avon, and narrowboats rock gently in their moorings as you boil your first brew of the day.

This is a site for anyone wanting a proper base within striking distance of Bath — whether you're touring in a van, pulling a caravan, or pitching a tent beside the water. It suits couples after a city-and-countryside mix, families who want Georgian architecture one day and riverside walks the next, and anyone who fancies waking up to that particular calm that only canal basins seem to have. You're in Somerset, where the Cotswolds blur into the valleys, and Bath's honey stone and Roman baths are genuinely close without the site feeling urban.

Facilities are straightforward — showers and toilets onsite, nothing fancy but everything you need. It's open all year, so works for winter escapes as well as summer tours. Campfires aren't a given, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is relaxed and marina-quiet, with enough space between pitches and that gentle clank of rigging that sends you off to sleep.
