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.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Bath

Matthew
5 / 5

We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5

Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.

Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.

Aaron
5 / 5

We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
