Campsite next to rivers for canoeing Forums

Bubblehead

Hi

We are planning to go away for a weekend to do some canoeing with our friends who also own a MH. We are looking for sites that have direct access to a river or canal where we can launch the canoes, ideally the site will be Hants, Wilts, Dorset etc.

Can anyone recomend a good site CC / CCC / CL / CS etc that will accept dogs and will offer the above.

Can't remember whether it is CC or C&CC but the site at Devizes ( Wilts) has a canal( Kennet and Avon) on it's boundary.

There is also Kingsbury Water Park CC ( or C&CC) Club site north east of Birmingham.

How about Berkshire ? Not too far from Hampshire.

Direct access from site to Thames with its own slipway. Hurley lock has a

weir that is popular with canoeists and has its own canoe club.

( Nice site too !! )

You could try this one in Bath, it is a British Waterways owned site with access to the river Avon, we stayed last year and saw plenty of canoes using the river.

Forgot to mention that Hurley Riverside Park is featured in May MMM and
if you look at the photos you will see the back of our RV. Famous or what?

There is a pub by the canal in Honey Street (Devises) where you can camp.

There is a nice carpark we sometimes stay in by the Avon at Eckington, Worcestershire.

There is a nice pub and a public carpark near Aldermaston wharf, where there is a canal and a river.
