Another lovely stay

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
This was our second stay at Bath Chew Valley whilst visiting family in the area. As per previous reviews, the sites bathroom facilities are very good and always clean. The site is quiet, flat and has well manicured lawns, shrubs and trees. You do pay a premium for this setting and facilities, so it would be great if all pitches had access to the aerial booster, not just the services pitches as the TV and 4g signals are very poor ( thank goodness for the upgrade). You can buy wifi which works well. Tried a few different places for lunch, The White Row near Frome, and The Castle of Comfort pub in East Harptree, both excellent. The wardens were welcoming and very helpful, from pitches to WiFi setup.

Great site and great location.

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
We stayed at this site for the first time in mid October on I believe the only dry weekend and were not disappointed. As earlier reviewers had said the welcome was warm and the staff extremely helpful. Our pitch towards the rear of the site, was quiet, a good size and had both both electric and water services. Plenty of room too for our awning. We liked that cars were parked in a car park and not on the pitches and thought the tractor aided pitching of caravans a great idea as it probably saved time and effort for the owners. It was also interesting to watch and how quickly the spectacle was over! We tend to stay at adults only sites and this one was one of the best we've stayed at. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into the development of the site as evidenced by the individual toilet facilities, the admission protocol, information boards at the entrance, dog walk and landscaping etc.. In fact everything is designed to make the whole stay as enjoyable as possible. As others have said the Red Lion offers good home cooked fare and the local store is well stocked. Was going to try the Cafe at the lake but heard several people complain about the wait and incomplete orders, so gave it a miss. I guess the only minor drawback as a dog owner is that there is not a lot of wide open spaces, within walking distance, for dogs to be let off the lead; our lab enjoys a good run ! However we'll definitely be staying again.

A pretty site, but not our cup of tea

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
We stayed here in May 2023, and thought we'd review this site for those thinking of trying it for the first time. Firstly, the name of Bath Chew Valley is a bit misleading as it's 13 miles by road to Bath and a similar distance to Bristol. The site is 300 metres from the shore of Chew valley lake, but is surrounded by tall hedges so you won't actually see the water until you use one of the newly revamped lakeside trails. There's a reasonable pub within walking distance, and the Spar shop (second nearest) is quite good. If you do decide to visit Bath, there's a large 'no height barrier' Park and Ride at Lansdown which is to the North of Bath and next to a large playing field. The site is well manicured with trees and shrubs, but the pitches are a little squeezed together and there was another outfit at right angles to ours with their habitation door directly opposite our rear windows. Parking of caravans is by a noisy site owned tractor. Showers and loos are of the individual bathroom type, which is nice but they were often a bit steamed up as the extractor fans weren't really up to the task. Our main issue was finding somewhere for our active dog to run around and play with a ball. The site offers a 'pet exercise area' which turned out to comprise a 150 metre path for dogs to relieve themselves whilst being kept on the lead ! Off site the local footpaths and the lakeside paths and trails are all marked 'dogs on leads'. Eventually we found a playing field at Bishop Sutton about half a mile away. We can see why many folks like this site, it all depends on your priorities I suppose. Not for us though.

A lovely site

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
Equidistance between Bath and Bristol, this site provides an excellent base with a lot of local walks and cycling to be enjoyed. The owners take a huge amount of time and trouble in ensuring the up keep is absolutely top drawer and the toilet and shower block are at the very least satisfactory. Very happy to recommend.

What's not to Love ?

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park
Bath Chew Valley is an exceptional site - beautiful pitches with plenty of space & privacy - the best arrival service when after a long journey your caravan is towed to your allocated pitch & then you just put the key in the door - bliss ! You can park your car to unload next to your caravan & then their is a car park near reception to park your car - love this as so many sites your just end up looking at cars everywhere & it also makes the site very peaceful what a fantastic idea - wish more sites did this. The facilities are private suites with excellent showers sink & toilet plenty of hooks hair dryer & hand dryer are also in each suite - I never once had to que for a suite & they are kept spotlessly clean - with shower curtains also changed. The utility is excellent super washers dryers ironing board iron & sinks for washing up & hand washing - plenty of local information & walks also available - the lighting at night is excellent & you feel safe with the barrier too. Local shop to walk too which is so well stocked & has had a refurb & is ran by very friendly people. You can walk to Salt & Malt where they serve delicious fish & chips for take a way or the lovely restaurant. The really best thing about the site is the wardens & all the staff they work tirelessly to keep the site sick & span the gardens & planting is beautiful & they never seem to stop working & are always so friendly welcoming & helpful - I wish we could stay forever!
