Baltic Wharf Club Campsite is a waterside haven, located right in the heart of Bristol's beautifully re-developed dockland and close to the city centre with its lively shops and entertainment. For families staying at the campsite, great attractions include the Downs Park: a cosy and safe place for young children to play and also an ideal picnic spot.

Many excellent cycle paths can be easily accessed from Baltic Wharf Club Campsite, including the Bristol to Bath path if you are feeling particularly energetic and adventurous. A selection of boat trips are available from the campsite, which makes for an excellent way to take in some of the most scenic views in this part of the county.

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite Bristol

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
June Stay: Perfect location to walk into heart Bristol or catch one of the ferry boats. The facilities are as good and as clean as you would expect, nice hot water in showers, which you can regulate to your preference. However it's the location that's the star of the show really, Perfect location to walk into heart Bristol or catch one of the ferry boats, just along the waterfront from the SS Great Britain, an easy walk into the heart of Bristol. So once you have set up, time to relax with no hassle of driving anywhere until your time to leave. We were so disappointed, to hear on our arrival, that the site will cease to exist as of December this year. What a dreadful shame.

A Gem of a Site in the Heart of Bristol

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
We stayed here in our campervan on 13 June. We were en route to Cornwall and visiting our son who lives nearby in Bristol. This is a great little site, very well run by friendly and helpful staff. The facilities are as good and as clean as you would expect, but it's the location that's the star of the show really, just along the waterfront from the SS Great Britain, an easy walk into the heart of Bristol. The Cottage Inn pub is next door, and is a good place for a quick drink. We didn't eat there, but the menu looked OK. Despite being so central, the site is quiet and very clean. It's a shame that the site is closing in December 2024 when the lease runs out, but the Club has secured another site about a mile away, which hopefully will be up and running soon.

Exemplary

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
If you want to visit a site that is operated by people who care about their customers then this is for you. I read the reviews before our visit that nearly all compliment the excellent service they received from Lindsay & Chelle - I now understand why & they’re a credit to CAMC. Right from the booking process I received a friendly welcome from Lindsay who went out of her way to personally accommodate our mototorhome on a suitable pitch to fit it’s size, until leaving nothing was too much trouble for them to assist with our needs. We commented frequently how facilities were well maintained & spotlessly clean. The location is unbelievably well situated for easy walking access to Bristol City centre. We heard of the uncertainty regarding the future of the site & believe it would be a travesty should it be lost. Would give above 5* rating if possible & can’t wait to go back.

A little slice of Baltic Camping Bliss

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
We stayed with our caravan for a couple of nights over the Bristol AJ Bell run week end. It was our first time on the site and it will certainly not be our last! What a find. The site is superbly well managed which ensures that everyone gets to enjoy their holiday there. The site itself was surprisingly quiet and chill considering it is a city centre site - the facilities are good and clean. There are lovely touches all around the site including benches to meet new people, dog biscuits left by the resident four legged team member, lots of local information ..... The location is also fabulous with a secret gate at the back of the site leading straight on to the canal path with pubs, restaurants a gogo! The team came out to cheer on the runners and it really felt like a joyous place to stay not least because the team truly care and love the site and that is so so obvious the minute you arrive! What more can I say other than it is a fabulous campsite with a fabulous duo managing it!

A brilliant location with very welcoming and helpful staff

Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
This was our first stay at Baltic Wharf and we really enjoyed being in the centre of Bristol - particularly near the floating harbour. We were so disappointed, therefore, to hear on our arrival, that the site will cease to exist as of December this year. What a dreadful shame. Because of this, unsurprisingly the Club has clearly not spent money on refreshing or updating the facilities and these were consequently a little tired though very clean. We hope to be able to return before the site closes and hope very much that the new site planned nearby comes to fruition soon.
