Enjoyable Visit

Very busy site with all gravel, level pitches. Helpful staff and excellent facilities, which are able to cope with peak demand. Location is outstanding for a city break, easy walk/cycle/water ferry to downtown Bristol, covered market, historic streets and attractive harbour life - all make this a great city break. Plenty of eating places, well worth using Groupon vouchers to reduce cost. SS Great Britain, M Shed (museum), Clifton Bridge and Science Centre (aimed at children) are all well worth visiting. Great site, we will visit again. Probably a bit urban for young children?

Brilliant

Just got home after a brilliant weekend in Bristol, our main aim was to see our team collect 3 more points towards our promotion push, alas a 4-1 defeat wasnt on our agenda, the site is within walking distance to Ashton Gate the home of Bristol City,also within walking distance was numerous bars, cafes & historic Bristol, lets hope the club manage to keep this site & it is not turned into more riverside apartments, my wife & i would visit again should we need to visit any Bristol team playing our team.

Fantastic Location

Just had a week at this site and would definitely recommend. The site itself is relatively small with pretty much standard facilities for the CC. What really sets this site apart is the location which is fantastic. We didn't take the car off the site for the whole week because there is so much to, we did a 12 mile cycle ride down the side of the Avon which is right outside the site entrance, you can walk into town along the side of the harbour and if you wear yourself out looking at all the historical sights (not to mention bars and restaurants!) take the ferry beck across the harbour for 80p pp. If you you don't want to venture that far the Cottage Inn is right next to the site with good quality food and beers. Right outside the entrance is a stop for the open top city tour which is really worth while because the city has so much history, the SS Great Britain is 200 yards away, you can see the Clifton Suspension Bridge from the site and there are numerous free museums within walking distance. There is still loads that we didn't manage to do and we will certainly be back!

Mixed thoughts

Just returned from spending 5 days at baltic wharf. We thought we must go there as its always booked up, we were lucky to get 5 days after Easter. We arrived at 12, a lot of roadworks along the site road. We took note of the busy main road and pitched up along the boating centre side by the cottage pub. We found this to be a wrong choice as at nights the bottles from the pub were thrown into the wheelie bins and the smell of cooking all day was awful. The site is small and very little grass anywhere to be found, so if you have a doggie like we did, you found yourself walking a long way. We went through the site gate and your on the harbour with a walk to the museums and SS Great Britain which was beautiful now restored. I must say Bristol is a lively city, the harbour side at nights is very busy but surprised us to see so many people begging and sleeping rough. We Live near a city and don't have that. We also noticed so much graffiti everywhere. If you would like a nice place to eat Zaa Zaa bazaar is all you can eat, different cuisine, and you have to book. Well we are glad we came to see Baltic wharf but sorry probably won't return as we now prefer more greenery. I must add the man in the little shop outside the main gate should learn some manners, he was rude and didn't deserve my custom.

Great stay

This is one of the best sites - it is centrally located - you can take a ferry to get into the main shopping area. The site is not huge but plenty of space between pitches. The site is extremely clean and has all the usual facilities. This site is very popular and sometimes you have to book months in advance. Only a small amount of pitches which can have awnings so you need to book really early if you want one of those pitches. We had been looking forward to this weekend for some time but unfortunately I became ill on the first night which resulted in a visit to A&E and meant we had to leave the site early. We were there for the Bristol Pilot Gig Regatta which hubby was taking part in. The site was right next to where the Regatta was taking place. There is a pub right next door to the site but we did not experience any noise from this. The pub does food all day. We have already booked to go back later in the year. The ferry stop is right outside the pub. The SS Great Britain is barely half a mile in the other direction to the pub. The map shows that there is another pub/restaurant but because of me being unwell we did not check it out.

Great Location

First time at this site and we were really surprised . Such a great location for walking or catching the ferry. Very interesting development of the dockside . Lots to do and see. The site is very well looked after and the Wardens very helpful and pleasant . The only down side is the traffic in Bristol getting to the site . We hope to return again .

Fantastic location

We stayed at Baltic Wharf over the Easter period and we had an amazing time even though the weather was mixed. Friday was the best day for the weather so we got up early and walked from the site up to the suspension bridge and around Clifton village which is beautiful and then down into the town centre for a mid afternoon meal. We caught the ferry from Bristol marina back to the caravan site which is so convenient when you need to rest your tired legs!! The next few days passed with lots of walking, eating and fresh air, absolutely brilliant. 10 out of 10.

Great for a city-break

The site is superbly situated for a trip to the large and busy city of Bristol. literally exit via the rear gate and you are two minutes from the water links across the river or the river cruises. It is also a nice stroll to the town centre taking at a slow saunter about an hour. There are pubs and eateries a plenty along the river front. The location has a really nice and friendly atmosphere! The only negatives are it is not a site to just sit and relax in your van, there is no view, very little grass and nowhere to let your dog off. Almost like staying in a posh carpark with nice facilities. The site is next to a main road at the front and the trucks thundered past all night, we were situated next to that road, not sure you would hear it so bad on the riverside of the site. Please don't let the negative bits put you off coming, for a city break this is a REALLY GREAT SITE. Just remember it is a city site, not a relax in the countryside!

Great location

Great site on the waterfront within walking distance to Bristol centre and Cliffton Bridge and Village. Lots to do in the area for adults and children (although site is small so no play area). Facilities usual CC standards and service from wardens good. We managed to get a cancellation for 3 nights which we were able to extend when we were there. Wardens happy for people to ring the site regarding availability as they do get cancellations. We hope to make a return visit.
