The Wave Campsite
Camping at Bristol's inland surf lake: a seasonal tent-and-campervan field, pre-pitched bell tents and safari tents, a short walk from the waves.
See all 4 photos- Glamping
The Wave is an inland surf lake on the northern edge of Bristol, and it runs two places to stay beside it. The Field is a summer-only camping meadow about 200 metres from the lake, where you can pitch a tent, park a campervan or take a ready-pitched bell tent with two single beds and linen.
The Camp is a row of safari tents that sleep up to six, with kitchenettes, woodburners, a private toilet and a balcony; a premium version adds insulation, heating and a private shower. Showers for the Field are on site.
The clubhouse has a surf shop and cafe-bar with a roof terrace, and there is a lake walk and nature trail. Surf lessons and sessions are booked separately from your pitch.
