Bristol needs this site

At least the site seems to have a guaranteed further 3 years of life. The idea od the council putting a primary school on it beggars belief, and there was, no doubt, little likelihood of that in reality - more like a block of flats. However Bristol as a principal city in the Uk should and must have a good site, and this certainly fulfils that role for now. As a Motorhomer, it is one of the best located, giving an easy walk, bus trip of ferry ride direct into the city, from where there is excellent public transport to many other places. As a site it always had its limitations in terms of size, which means it's almost always to get a booking there. In terms of facilities, iut meets the CC standards Ok, though there has always been a problem with the showers, where one minute you can have a very comfortable hot shower, the next it goes momentarily cold. It's not the only CC site where we have found this, but at least from whichever pitch you are on, there's not far to go for the facilities! The comment above concerning wardens is very true, and those there currently are very friendly, and pleasant, a welcome contrast to the ones there on our last visit a couple of years ago.We shall certainly return there- so long as we can find a date when there is some space!

excellent site for motor homes, but not caravans

nice site for visiting the city,but being a caravaner found it very poor as a pitiful amount of pitches available for an awning,which spoilt the site for us!on the plus for this visit was nice friendly wardens(better than last years grumpy unhelpful lot)nice clean blocks,tidy clean site,

Baltic Return

We have visited Baltic Wharf a number of times on over the years and were sad to hear it was to close so we're happy when this was put on hold. It is always difficult to get on to the site at weekends but as we had nothing to lose kept trying and got a one night booking en route from home in Cornwall to visit family in Northamptonshire. The site is perfect for us as our favourite restaurant, San Carlos, is a pleasant stroll away in Corn Street and the route there is very enjoyable alongside the water of the old Bristol floating dock. If you have not tried it it is a wonderful site with a great variety of things to do on the doorstep.

Brilliant

Fantastic location. Love the back gate straight on to the River and a very pleasant walk into the city. Alternatively the ferry service, which is just left of the gate, is a great asset, and very reasonably priced. Handy having a pub next door. Always something to see on the river and the city was a big surprise. Lovely to take our chairs and sit by the riverside watching the world go by. Congratulations to the Caravan club for extending the lease for 3 more years. I hope it continues for a long time after that. Will definitely return

Good Site

My wife and I are very glad this wonderful site is remaining open for another 3 years, we consider this site to have everything for a family break, not far to walk into Bristol along the dock side, near SS Great Britain and a wonderful eating place named The Cottage within 30 metres walk. The wardens are wonderful and run a very good site in all. Fully recommended, so well done the Club.

Brilliant location

Small site, very good location with pub/restaurant, walking, rowing, sailing, cycling right on your doorstep. Catch a ferry to the town centre or a walk along the quayside for the more energetic, a number of places to eat nearby. Can be noisy at closing time because of the location of the pub, care needs to be taken with children as the quayside has no protection, and the main entrance leads directly onto a main road.

Geocaching holiday.We decided to find a few geocaches in Bristol as they have so many.

We took our bikes with us and hoped for good weather. We were lucky enough to get on this site for four days over the Bank Holiday.We were helped in our booking with Head Office by booking two days with a plot with awning and two days without.Luckily the wardens arranged so that we didn't have to move plots on the third day .Over the few days we had good weather and managed to cycle to Bath and back on the off road cycle track.We are glad to have stayed on this site once more before it closes .The wardens were very helpful and friendly and booked our ongoing site for us .

Fantastic Location

Booked months in advance as difficult site to get into. Well worth it the two days we stayed here. Turned up on a baking hot day but because site is mostly set on gravel & walled in, not much breeze to cool you down. Not a worry for us as the weather changed to wet, wet, wet. Easily get ferry & a boat trip directly through gate onto the river. Love Bristol anyway but what really made it for us and family was the Shaun the Sheep trail, searching for some of the 70 decorated sheep scattered around the city for charity. Every place should have them, as made walking around more fun. Lots more to see & do here. Wardens cheerful & helpful.
