Why choose Bath for your road trip

Bath — a city worth exploring

Bath's Roman Baths complex, fed by Britain's only naturally hot spring at 46°C, has drawn visitors for over 2,000 years. This UNESCO World Heritage city in Somerset blends Georgian grandeur with a lively cultural scene, making it a rewarding base for any road trip through south-west England. Stroll along the Royal Crescent, a sweeping arc of 30 terraced houses designed by John Wood the Younger in 1774, then head to Bath Abbey to admire its fan-vaulted ceiling. The Holburne Museum, set at the end of Great Pulteney Street, houses an impressive collection of fine art and decorative pieces. For green space, Prior Park Landscape Garden offers panoramic views across the city and its Palladian bridge is one of only four in the world. Bristol lies just 19 km to the west, while the market town of Frome is roughly 21 km to the south-east — both make excellent day trips. The surrounding countryside features rolling hills and narrow lanes typical of the Cotswolds fringe, so a compact campervan can be easier to navigate than a larger vehicle. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners in the Bath area, which means you can pick up a motorhome nearby and set off without the hassle of a long transfer. Peer-to-peer hiring also gives you access to a wider choice of campervans at different price points, so you can match the vehicle to your plans.

Best time to visit

Bath is enjoyable year-round, though late spring through early autumn brings the longest days for exploring. The Bath Festival in May fills the city with music, literature and art, while the Bath Christmas Market in late November and December transforms the streets around the Abbey into a festive destination. Summer is the busiest season, so booking your campervan through Yescapa early helps you secure the best choice and competitive peer-to-peer prices. Autumn is quieter, with golden colours across the surrounding hills — ideal for a relaxed motorhome trip with fewer crowds on the road.

Bath to Cheddar Gorge

80km southwest 1–3 days

Head 40 km south-west from Bath to Cheddar Gorge, England's largest gorge. Walk the cliff-top trail for sweeping views, then visit Gough's Cave below. Stop at Glastonbury on the return to climb the Tor. Campsite parking at the gorge suits campervans well, though spaces fill quickly in summer.

Bath to Castle Combe

55km northeast 1–3 days

Drive 30 km north-east from Bath to Castle Combe, often called one of England's prettiest villages. Explore the medieval Market Cross and St Andrew's Church, then continue to Lacock for its photogenic abbey. Narrow lanes reward smaller campervans — take it slowly and enjoy the Cotswolds scenery.

Campsites and parkings for recreational vehicles in Bath

Recommended campsites

Bath sits in a valley surrounded by green hills, so most campsites are just a short drive from the city centre. You will find sites ranging from compact, well-equipped parks with electric hook-ups and modern shower blocks to more rural pitches with open views. Facilities for both campervans and motorhomes are widely available, including hardstanding pitches, waste disposal points and fresh water fill-up stations. Booking ahead during summer and around the Bath Christmas Market is a good idea.

  • Brook Lodge Farm Camping Cowbridge, Bristol (14km northwest)Grass pitches, electric hook-ups, toilets, showers, fire pits, farm shop nearby

Where to park your motorhome

Bath operates a Park and Ride system that works well for larger vehicles, letting you leave your campervan on the outskirts and catch a bus into the centre. Overnight parking in the city itself is restricted for motorhomes, so plan to return to your campsite in the evening. Always check height barriers before entering any multi-storey facility, as most are unsuitable for taller vehicles.

  • Lansdown Park and Ride, 3km north — Large open-air car park north of the city with regular bus services to the centre. Suitable for campervans under 3 m height.
  • Newbridge Park and Ride, 3km west — West of Bath with frequent buses into town. Open surface parking with good space for wider vehicles.
  • Odd Down Park and Ride, 3km south — South of the city near the A367. Flat, open layout with easy access for motorhomes. No overnight stays permitted.

Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!

Barnabas Viktor
5 / 5

Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!

Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
