Sites with bus stops nearby

Tewkesbury, Cheddar & Chichester (CCC)

foxyg -  If you know of others or find a specific useful resource not mentioned perhaps you could add them in order to help other M'homers.  Good luck with your search.

That's good source and another is UKCampsite.co.uk where it's search facility allows you to limit your search to campsites with public transport within one mile. There are many hundreds.

Thank you all so much for your help. We've now got a lot of places to look at.  All very much appreciated.

The easiest way to find out for CAMC sites, of course, is to just check each site in the site directory book. They tend to mention how far the nearest bus stop is from the site.

As no-one seems to have mentioned it Bromyard Downs has a bus stop directly outside to both Worcester & Hereford. However the bus service didn't allow dogs on the bus that last time we were there.

It's a good idea to check out local bus services before you go, a bus stop near a site doesn't always indicate a good bus service eg there's a bus service near the Plymouth Sound site in Devon but the service is very limited. There are a lot of on line sites including "find my bus." But local time tables and routes are generally easy to find. If you arrive on site without looking up the details the site information rooms usually have the timetables.

We've just stayed in S Devon, there are good bus services close to the Start Bay site, Steamer Quay and Hillhead.

That is a very good idea to check bus service frequencies, as in recent years subsidies from councils have been cut ,so companies have curtailed some services,

At  Notgrove (Bourton  on the Water) there used to be a reasonable service ,but it is now about three a day

Hillhead has bus stops right outside the site entrance buses run down to Kingswear then the ferry to Darmouth and the otherway to Brixham,Paignton etc you can always tell when a bus is due as loads of people head off site, but it is an expensive site

Google is always good for checking out bus stop locations and how many buses go from a stop. Just touch on the bus stop icon and it will bring up bus times, and often a link to the bus companies web site for time tables. It is however day / time specific, so if you are looking on a Sunday it may well say no buses are scheduled from this stop.

Baltic Wharf has a bus stop about 100 metres from the gate ( they have closed the one just outside) with frequent services into the centre. Just don't try and get on the A1, it's £8 for the 2 mile journey  and they don't take bus passes. The M2 is OK though. Apparently the A1 is the airport shuttle. We wondered why it seemed so reluctant to stop when we stuck out our hand.😂

The good thing about Baltic Wharf is the circular tour bus near the site too, reduced price for CAMC members and a complete hop on and off tour of Bristol, a long route via the SS Gt Britain, the Downs, the Zoo, Clifton, even a Banksy and then the city centre, the castle etc. Just don't do it in the rain on the open top bit! And you can always get the water taxis too with a discount. 

If you're not staying on the site the nearby car park at the SS Gt Britain is handy for all this if you get there early and want to see Bristol, especially the water front and M Shed Museum.
