Grass Campsite with wooden jetty access to River Brue

1 night at Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Lovely place, very serene spot near the river and easy to get to Avalon Marshes and Brent Knoll. Great for a little swim in the river and sitting around in the evening enjoying the birdsong. Only one other van when we were there (a Sunday night) so it was very quiet. The little kitchen was nice for washing up and would be great for cooking if it was a rainy day! There is a road nearby but it's not very busy and there was no noise at all at night. Currently only one toilet and shower but both were clean and worked well, and they were installing more. Andy was lovely and welcoming, and the general vibe was very chilled. Thanks a lot, we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

We will definitely be visiting again, lovely little campsite surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife. Unfortunately didn't get to cross paths woth David as we was too busy exploring the area, but David was always a phone call away if we needed him, which is all we could ask for.

7 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

Really nice, clean and quiet with the sound of bird's and river in the back ground

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We had a great time glamping in Pridie's fields. It was very relaxing and lots of fun. The facilities were good.

1 night at The Barn KT9

We had a great time at The Barn. The site was very peaceful and the pitches were well maintained. We had a nice walk to the pub for dinner and had a great coffee in the morning on the onsite cafe.

2 nights at Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Andy was lovely and the camping spot is great. Stairs down into the river to make getting in and out easy. It was lovely and quite while I was there and so peaceful!

Weekend Trip to Shire Camping

Harry was the perfect host! He met us at the site entrance when we arrived and showed us to our pitch. The pitches are huge with plenty of space around them which makes the site feel private and quiet. It is in a beautiful location with two lovely villages within walking distance and lots of other attractions a short drive away. The toilets and washing facilities are basic and clean. We loved the minimal impact on the environment. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and return.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely spot, allowed to pick our own 'pitch' - nothing marked out, just go where you want. It's a back to basics campsite as advertised and that's what I like. We recevied a friendly welcome and everyone on the site was plesant and stuck to the no music after 10 rule. Lots of families and a good atmosphere.

1 night at Bredy Farm

Absolutely loved my trip here! Campsite was peaceful really well maintained. Bar and restaurant area was amazing and all the staff were really friendly and attentive. Managed to get myself a fresh pizza from the restaurant and eat it back at camp. Would absolutely stay here again!

1 night at Glynmarch Farm Camping

Fab campsite. Beautiful scenery, fabulous small site with eco friendly facilities, which were spotless. The farm owners were a lovely couple too. Definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely campsite with great views. Plenty of space - over the BH weekend it was quite busy, with a whole range of different groups etc, everyone very friendly. my kids loved the resident sheepdogs, and the pigs. The toilet/shower block is very nicely done and kept as clean as possible, recognising it was very busy when we went. We'd definitely go back.

1 night at Meldon Lake and Woods Wild Camping

It was fantastic, but I would hesitate recommending it because I love how private and secluded it is and it wouldn’t feel the same if it was busy

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Great campsite!! Very spaced out and good facilities. Great walks straight from the site. Pridie is so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Gorgeous campsite! Massive pitches, feels very private and secluded. Lovely host. Amazing views. We’ll definitely be returning

4 nights at Bredy Farm

Great place to camp! We had such a good time and the bar is brilliant on the weekends! Very dog friendly. We had the river right behind out pitch and the dogs loved it! Not somewhere to go if you’re looking for somewhere quiet on the weekend though😂

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Lovely site and very friendly host! Very peaceful and beautiful views of the valley.

Weekend Trip to Littleton Farm Campsite

Fab location, beautifully unspoilt, quiet, great for kids to explore around the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Beautiful camping spot in the Black Mountains. Loved the separate pitches in the meadow, with plenty of space for the kids to run around. The swing and the stream were a hit for the kids, and lovely walks from the campsite. The facilities were basic, but fine for our needs and perfectly clean. Thank you for sharing your lovely farm.

Weekend Trip to Radcot Leisure on Thames

We had a great weekend camping with our 2 children - the setting was really lovely and a great addition being so close to a pub! The campsite is a nice size and there was a lovely chilled atmosphere when we stay. The facilities could do with an update as they are very basic and compact but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip!

Weekend Trip to Shire Camping

Great campsite, extremely peaceful in a beautiful setting. Harry is super helpful and ensures your time spent at his site is relaxing, the pizza van on Saturday night is a perfect addition. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

We have chickens on site that roam free during the day. They are friendly and like to wander around the tents to say hello to our guests!

Campsites near Bath guide

Overview

With elegant Georgian architecture, scenic riverside strolls, and historic monuments everywhere you turn, Bath is deserving of its star attraction status. Prepare to be dazzled as you take in the headline acts—the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and Royal Crescent are all show-stoppers—then indulge your romantic side as you visit the Jane Austen Centre or indulge in a traditional afternoon tea. Once you’ve had your culture fix, there are outdoor pleasures to enjoy too. Go punting or canoeing along the River Avon, float over the countryside in a hot air balloon, or enjoy riverside walks and bike rides.

Where to go

North Somerset

Whether you want to hit the beach or explore underground caves, North Somerset has outdoor adventures to suit all tastes. Head to the Mendip Hills AONB to hike through the Cheddar Gorge, explore the Wookey Hole caves, and taste Britain’s beloved Cheddar cheese. Along the coast, seaside resorts like Burham-on-Sea and Weston-Super-Mare have sandy beaches, summer entertainment, and great seafront camping.

Cotswolds

North of Bath, the patchwork hills and winding lanes of the Cotswolds lead the way to some of England’s most picturesque villages. This AONB is the place for celebrity-spotting, scenic walks and bike rides through the countryside, and leisurely pub lunches. Burton, Bourton on Water, and Broadway are some of the most visited towns, where you’ll find plenty of choices for camping and glamping.

North Wessex Downs

Less than an hour’s drive east, the verdant chalklands of the North Wessex Downs AONB are beloved by hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders. Visit the UNESCO-listed Avebury stone circle, enjoy views of the Wiltshire White Horses, or set sail for a cruise along the Kent & Avon Canal. Further east, Downton Abbey fans won’t want to miss a visit to Highclere Castle.

When to go

Bath fills up with day-trippers in summer and during annual events such as the Bath Festival (May) or the Jane Austen Festival (Sept). Make your campsite reservations months in advance if visiting during these periods, and plan an early start to beat the crowds at top attractions. Spring and autumn are ideal for hikes in the surrounding AONBs, and there are options for winter campers, too—Bath is particularly magical over the holiday season.

Know before you go

Bath has several camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up everything you need for your camping trip.
Bath has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and AONBs, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
Wild camping is illegal throughout the UK, although there are some areas where it is possible with permission from the landowners.
