Visit Bristol

To book this site I had to be on the computor as soon as booking opened. The reason is that it is IN Bristol. The cite is very flat and relatively small. You leave by a gate to the dockside and from there get a ferry to the centre or walk to the "SS Great Britain" Brunels magnificent screw ship. This , in my opinion, is one of the greatest attractions in UK. Bristol has manny attractions so you will not find time heavy on your hands. From the main gate there is a frequent bus service which you can take to the Railway Station. The reception and facilities are excellent. As dog owner my only criticism is there is virtually nowhere to walk dogs. Our dog was very old so that was not a problem but anyone with a lively dog would have difficulty.

Great Bristol Base

Baltic Wharf is a great site for a base to explore Bristol. The site has a great central location on the edge of the harbour and is both clean and well run. There are plenty of places to eat, drink and explore within easy walking distance. It is easy to focus on central Bristol with the old city and St Nicholas market worth a visit, whilst there is also Clifton with its cafe culture and suspension bridge, and Southville over the river with supermarkets, butchers and Bristol Brewery. If you enjoy cycling try the Bristol to Bath cycle way. A stop at the Bird in Hand Pub towards Bath is worth a visit for good food and beer.

Superb location for visiting Bristol.

A superb location if you wish to visit Bristol. The site is not the largest and therefore availability is not great but well worth the effort of finding free dates. The ferry into the centre of Bristol City is right outside the gate. Travelling on the water adds to the relaxing feel of the stay. Look at the times on the timetable though for your return journey. It would be easy to forget the time and miss the last ferry home, it is a daytime service only. The local pub has a nice atmosphere and reasonable food. The only downside is that the site may not be on the network for much longer, due to the club not owning but leasing the site (I believe). It will be a loss to the club if it does go. My advice is to use it while it is available, you will not regret it.

A great site

This is a superb site, kept well maintained by very helpful and friendly wardens. It's fairly compact, but by no means cramped, with good pitch separation. Pitches seemed nice and level - ours certainly was. The toilet block was not large, but was kept clean and well presented at all times. The site is next to a busy road, with regular traffic, so some noise is inevitable, but it didn't bother us. Most members will be aware of the various attractions available within easy reach of the site, so I won't list them in detail, but we especially enjoyed S.S. Great Britain and Clifton Village was an interesting surprise. I recommend this site very highly.

Surprise Package!

We spent 4 nights here in March. It is not the easiest site to find, being hidden away on the Wharfside but it is definitely worth seeking out! The wardens gave a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The site was busy but still retained a quiet atmosphere with a small amount of road noise. The pitches are of a reasonable size although the popularity of the site means that the choice is usually limited. The amenities were few in number but spotless. There is a gate at the bottom of the site which gives direct access to the Wharf ( a key to the gate is issued upon arrival). The SS Great Britain is a short walk away as are water taxis giving access to the City. There is a bus stop just outside the site entrance too. We discovered a lovely local park within a short walk which proved perfect for the dog! There is a lovely pub on the Wharf just along from the site with outside seating which offers food and drink. We really enjoyed watching the University rowing teams practising on the river in the sunshine. This site is a real gem and we hope to be able to return before is closes in 2 years. It will be a massive loss to the network.

A little gem

Baltic Wharf is a surprise, a small site in a city that is both quiet and also convenient for the centre. We rediscovered "Brunel's Buttery" on the walk into the centre (it's between the SS-Great Britain and the M-Shed). Bristol is a place with a lot to see and this site makes it easy: recommended.

Had a great stay at Baltic Wharf been trying for a long time to stay here right on the footpath eon the waters edge, very nice everything we expected and more. Will try to come again, handy to walk, bus or ferry into Bristol City centre.

Great week in Bristol

We really enjoyed our visit to the Baltic Wharf Site. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. The site is perfectly located for trips into Bristol along The Wharf. It will be a great shame if the Club loses this site as there are very few sites within a city. A very well kept site. Having The Cottage Inn next door was perfect, as were the ferries into Bristol City centre.

Great Weekend in Bristol

Been wanting to stay at Baltic Wharf for some time. Managed to get some free days this month. The position alongside the dock is great. There are pubs and cafes all the way into the city centre, or take the river taxi. Try the Cottage 200 yds. The site is fine, a bit too much hardstanding for my taste and the facilities are just sufficient for the number of guests. The wardens are very efficient and helpful. It would be a great shame to loose this site. We would like to be able to return this year.

It's all about location

When it comes to location, you really can't beat Baltic Wharf if you want a city break. Walk out of the door and you are on the harbourside - a prime location in one of Bristol's popular tourist areas. It's an easy walk into Bristol city centre and the site is also within easy walking distance of Clifton and the suspension bridge. The site may not be the prettiest to look at but the staff are very friendly and helpful and we hope to return again soon.
