Great central location 😎

Just returned from a 3 night stay. Great location, as you walk out of the rear gate your on the quay side and surrounding by decent pubs and bars. Some great walks along the docks, into town for shopping or towards Clifton which again has some nice shops and of course Clifton suspension bridge (worth a walk to) This site is a Gem so can't understand why they're trying to close it. Must generate some income for the local businesses. As for the site itself. Toilet blocks clean but a little dated. Noisy due to local traffic at night and a little dull or grey due to the masses of grey stones. We stayed on the large circle area as you enter the site which is mainly none awning pitches, these are a little cramped and doesn't help when Curtain members park as they wish with their door exiting into our already cramped sitting area. Wardens didn't want to know which was a poor effort. Otherwise great site and met some great people. With the exception of obnoxious neighbour. A gem of a site which deserves fighting to keep 😎 defiantly staying again. 😎 Dave & Tracy.

Fabulous site - great for Bristol

Location is everything with this site being so central for Bristol. The site is small and compact, hardstanding pitches. Ideal for experiencing what Bristol has to offer and right on riverside edge. Everything we wanted within walking distance. 30-40min walk into central Bristol along the waterside paths. Similar, but steep walk to Bristol Suspension Bridge. Ferry available at a discounted price just outside of the site. Well kept shower block, laundry facilities etc. Christian and Anthony, the wardens were brilliant! So understanding and helpful when I got into a predicament with a back injury, so much appreciated.

It's great for a visit to Bristol

I did not give this site 5 stars because although the site was perfectly clean and well kept, plus the wardens could not be faulted being friendly and helpful; the road noise could be troublesome and it was about a 25 to 30 min walk to the millennium square. Which was further than we had anticipated. Also rather clinical in appearance owing to the use of grey gravel. However, this is still a great site for Bristol with so much to see and do. The tour bus stops right outside and the club should fight to keep it as the council are shortsighted in trying to close it down.

Short Break

Just returned from Baltic Wharf.2.30pm didn't expect to still get a good choice of pitch.Level and not too near road.Its all about location here.yes trees need a trim and toilet block a bit tired but is still well worth fighting to keep it open.We have been coming here for over 20 years.I don't think about how much money we have spent in and around Bristol over the years.Its very short sighted of the council to not appreciate the Club and its members.Is there anyone who thinks a school is a good idea ????. Really hope its still open next year,with the same nice wardens.

Perfect site for visiting Bristol

Very clean, well maintained site - like a little oasis in the city centre. Very friendly staff. Easy walking distance into centre of Bristol. We will definitely be back.

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.
