Perfect site

Just had 4 nights at Baltic Wharf and I can honestly say this is my favourite site in the club . So handy for so many places in the area Bristol is easily accessible either by walking on river bank or by ferry outside camp site . It is so easy to see why the council want to to develop this site as it has perfect acces to the water front. Facilities are in need of up date but they are spotlessly clean. Keep up the good work Baltic Wharf.

Possibly my favourite club site?

I always enjoy my visits to Baltic Wharf, it’s such a special part of Bristol, and being central to all the facilities of an attractive and vibrant city is a big plus. It’s worth mentioning that the bus services from the site along the Cumberland Road have improved hugely recently, with the m3 metrobus offering a frequent service into the city centre and shops, and similarly the A1 to Temple Meads Station. And thankfully the metrobus roadworks are mostly finished now, at least on Cumberland Road. Once parked up it’s easy to leave your vehicle on site. Despite the slightly outdated facilities block (due to the threat of the site being redeveloped by the council) it has always been kept spotlessly clean on all of my visits, and both the summer and winter wardens have been ever attentive and helpful. Okay, so some of the pitches are a tad cramped, but that means more of us can get to stay here. And I appreciate that the gates are locked at night, which as a solo traveller makes me feel safe and secure. I just hope the Club has noticed that this is a very, very, popular site, and will continue to fight to keep it. The trend in “holidays”, as the Club magazine quaintly calls them, has changed. Members no longer want to be always beside the seaside or up a mountain, and they want to travel all year. The Club needs more of these cosmopolitan sites.

What A Gem.

We finally managed to get on this site 👍🏻 Initially we were a bit disappointed with it’s ‘car park’ appearance compared to all other club sites we’ve visited, but it more than compensates through its superb city location. The wardens were very helpful & kept the site as clean as any we’ve been to.

Sadly not the best visit,noisy site workers.people reserving pitches,starting to look shabby due to the short lease

Sadly ive given this review on our experiance this time.Upon arrival there was a que at 12;15.As the site was going to be full the people at the end of the que decided they would send there partner around to stand on the pitch they liked.We then proceeded to a pitch only to find a lady standing right in the middle of a pitch which we liked.when i wanted to pitch up she came running over stating that they had chose that pitch.yet when we asked when booking if we could reserve a pitch ,we where told first come first served.So how was it she could reserve a pitch.so we told the wardens who could not care less and was told to look for another pitch.As we are 8.7 meter long there was limited pitches left.so we drove around and around only to be told we could go on a spot near the road due to our length.We we booked for 2 night and had to leave after 1 night.they had road works right outside the entrance to the site and had a 22 ton excavator on a night shift working thuought the night. went to complain to the wardens in the morning and could not find any until band on 12 when they strolled over to the office for booking in.I know its not the sites fault ,but it could be mentioned when paying and given the chance to make up our mind to stay or not.these road works have been going on for several months ,so its not new to them.It appears that the site is on a short leae now and seems to us like they are not putting in the real effort any more as the toilet didnot flush well in the ladies and the gents was looking tired.althought they still took our £55 for 2 nights.well sadly a big let down this time as we have been there many times before.

Excellent City Location

We spent three nights with our motorhome. The site is in a fantastic location on the banks of the harbour and close to the city centre. We don't know of any UK site which has such an excellent position relative to a major city with so much to see. We walked and cycled to so many of the interesting sites and enjoyed the lively and diverse range of history and culture. We only hope that the inevitable pressure to develop the site for potentially more lucrative end uses is resisted so that others can continue to experience this fantastic location. We will certainly return.

Great Location

Superb location in Bristol. Quite a long walk into main area but can use water taxis. Great for walking and cycling. Some pitches a little on the small side but location of site outways that. Great pub next door on water edge, and lots around to choose from. Hope this site never closes as would love to go back again in the near future if we can get in.

Terrific Location

An historic harbourside location in central Bristol, with all the amenities, buzz and noise you'd expect from a vibrant city. What's not to like? Ever polite, the wardens, Anthony and Christian, provide a genuinely warm welcome and do a wonderful job maintaining a site that is under notice of closure. And what a loss it will be once the site is gone. If you have yet to try this wonderful site, give it a go 'cause once it's gone...

Grteat Site - lots going on

Just returned from a 2 night stay (1st Sept 18). Great site for access to Bristol, where you can walk almost everywhere (especially with a dog). Lots going on the waterfront, so do not expect piece and quiet. try the Spitfire BBQ restaurant on the Quayside, great BBQ ribs. Pub right next door. There is talk that the council who own the site want to reclaim the land for housing as it is in a prime location. The club needs to fight this as it very rare to find a site so convenient to the tourist attractions of Bristol (or any city in the UK) especially for motorhomer's who like to walk into town. The popularity of this site pays testimony to what people want from the club.

Rude and abrupt

Came here as every1 says how fab it is, us, well we don't know why.. we turned up 20 mins early, to be greeted with your early you can't book in yet. Never ever has this happened to us, we looked around at what pitch we wod like to bide the time. Bang on 12 the 2 men opened the office,, we were asked oh you have looked about what pitch do you want, so we said an they went oh u can't av that it's for an awning so we then chose 1 against the wall/fence of the boating place next door.. bad move.. after setting van up we were given the key to open the gates, to be rudly told oh u av been here b4 you know what to do.. which we hadn't been b4. Then was told what we needed, we then went for a walk along the water into the town and had a nose then came back on the water taxi, to the cottage pub.. which we did have a pint and glass if wine,what a lovely place, the food looked amazing. We then went back to the caravan settled in for the night.. well if you like a lay on, no way 930 the noise from the boating place was horrendous.. so thoughts about goin here again well for the wharf itself yes but the site I'm not to sure... brecon knocks spots off this site,, sorry just felt the wardens couldn't be bothered, it's not like the site is huge and needed lots of looking after,, look after the guests more they should.. people find it hard to book this site or book so far in advance, I don't get it.. and we have been to a few sites now
