Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
Website: www.bathchewvalley.co.uk
Open All year

This small, adults-only site is lovingly looked after by owners Ray and Val Betton. Thoughtful touches abound, such as the provision of free, pick-your-own herbs and a tiny library. There are also plants and iron-work for sale and classical music is piped into the pristine shower facility.
The site holds a David Bellamy Gold Award for its environmentally friendly practices and wildlife-rich habitat. The surrounding area is great for birdwatching, walking and cycling, and keen fishermen are encouraged to try the nearby trout fishing in the Bath Chew Valley or Blagdon Lakes. Resisting the temptation to expand beyond 35 pitches, Ray and Val aim to provide a quiet and restorative experience for couples and their dogs, the latter of who can stretch their paws along the Pup's Parade.
You will be directed to a hardstanding pitch to ensure that the grass verges leading to the access road are not damaged; for the same reason, groundsheets are not permitted on grass pitches. But overall, this is a relaxed and welcoming site.
Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park attracts many return clients, who take advantage of the frequent-motorcaravanner discounts. It's a popular yet small site, so advance booking is recommended throughout the year, but you can expect peace, quiet and serenity upon arrival.
