City Oasis
This certainly is an oasis in the big city, and it is wonderful. Great for shopping or for relaxing if you are lucky to get a booking please go. Â Can't wait to go back next year.

Fabulous site
Our third visit to this brilliant site, we love it. Clean , neat and tidy. The locality is perfect for visiting Bristol and its many sights, the wardens are helpful and informative. Our only problem was that Wifi was unobtainable for the three days that we were on site.
Helpful, friendly wardens and an excellent location
Just back from a 3 night motorhome stay at Baltic Wharf and we would like to congratulate Mike and Angie Adams, the current, albeit, temporary wardens, on their management skills. A warm greeting was followed by useful advice re both the site and the local area.
The site is ordinary but the location is excellent. No need to motor anywhere as ferries and buses are on the doorstep and site users can even get discounted rates. Lots to visit including Clifton Suspension Bridge which is in sight as is SS Great Britain.
a great site
this time a very late booking - thank you - and once again the site came up trumps - very clean and amazingly placed for the centre of Bristol
We will most definitely return!
TRICKY TO REVIEW
This site is very difficult to rate as the site itself is very clean, and is situated on the wharf - we really enjoyed getting on a 'ferry boat' and going into the centre of Bristol.
However, it is the least family friendly site we have ever been to! If people do not want families to visit I completely understand that, but they should make themselves an Adults Only site. There are 'DO NOT....' signs absolutely everywhere 'don't do this, don't do that'!! Also, we arrived 30mins early for booking in - having travelled for hours with two children in the car, and the welcome we received you'd have thought we were a week early. We were made to feel SO unwelcome that we pitched up, went out in to Bristol for the afternoon/evening, went to bed and then left first thing in the morning so that we didn't have to have any further dealings with the wardens.
So, all in all in depends what you want from a site! - if you want easy access in to the city centre, with clean facilities then this is your site (just don't arrive early!!!!!), IF however you want friendly then steer well clear. It is also worth noting that to get to the site you have to drive through the centre of a town which is NOT fun when towing!

Easy to find, central to lots of activity and shopping. Handy for visiting local relatives. Seek to visit every year but difficult to book. TV reception could be improved. Fear of stopping non parking area, instead had to stop in centre of road until access clear. lots of horn honking. Ex H/S Inspector recommend council review assessment for school adjacent deep water.

A jewel of the site network
This sites only downfall is its popularity! Ideally placed for walking into Bristol and around the locality. It is such a shame that the council want to close it in order to build a school. Let's hope the club can persuade the council to build on another site and allow this jewel to remain part of the network.

Always Excellent
What can I say that is different this time. The site never ceases to amaze. The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. Access to the city is brilliant. Long may it remain a club site and not become a school!!!
If you haven't been there go its a gem.

So good that it's lease has been extended, the shortcut through the rear gate onto the riverside wharf was great for walking into the centre, and for those not into walking the ferry stopped just outside at very reasonable prices.
Very clean site and friendly wardens helped make the stay top notch, for those pitching near Cumberland road the early morning traffic was noticeable at 0700 but not too intrusive. All in all an excellent site to visit the goings on in the city.
Wow!
Having tried, for several years, to coincide a visit to Baltic Wharf with holiday time, we made it at last! This is a small city site, full for much of the year. But the wait was worth it. Walk through the gate to the harbour and the view across the water is breath taking. Houses are terraced and painted in different colours, more like Spain than England. The city centre is a good walk away, or a pleasant (and cheap) ferry ride. This was our first visit to Bristol, and will not be our last during the remaining 3 years of CC tenancy. It will be a sad day if/when it closes to make way for a school. A loss to CC members and also to Bristol's coffers! The city is vibrant with students bustling between lecture buildings and has lots to see and explore. Measuring it alongside others we have visited, by the number of photographs taken, Bristol beats Barcelona hands down! Utterly perfect,
