shame on BRISTOL

We share the opinion of recent reviewers. This site, right in the heart of Bristol, will be sadly missed by many people. It is too small a site for a school ( as planned by the Council ?) and, no doubt, will end up as a block of flats. We have signed the petition, but, apparently, only the views of the people who live in the area are being counted. Well done Bristol Council !! ( You don't know what you've got till it's gone )

Perfect

We all know it's closing and let's hope that the Club and Bristol can find a new location. Staying there for 10 days in March the wardens were lovely and helpful, a credit to the Club.

Could hardly be better

We had a super week here and couldn't fault the site. It's such a shame it is still doomed to closure. Can I suggest that people who've used the site visit savebristolcampsite.com where you can write to the local councillors, MP etc - it's still not too late to add your voice. We really liked the ferry along the Floating Harbour and thought our visit to SS Great Britain a real highlight. In contrast to a previous reviewer, we were really pleased that the Cottage Inn doesn't admit dogs as if it had we would have missed out on a couple of excellent meals. Not all of us appreciate your smelly wet animal rubbing up against us!

Brilliant City Site

Have stayed here many times, a great site. What a shame it is closing, there will never be a school there so it will end up a empty space or flats. Another daft decision by Bristol Council.

Great City Site

Had a very enjoyable week at Baltic Wharf celebrating our Golden Wedding. There is so much to do here. We understand that no plans have yet been submitted, so is it possible that the club could extend the lease again?. We will watch this space as we would like to visit again in September. Sigma

Little Gem in City Centre

Spent one night at this site and would loved to stay longer. Situated right on the wharf, you can take a stroll to the restaurant area via SS Great Britain. It takes an hour to walk all the way around the wharf. The site itself was surprisingly quiet considering it is in a city, easy to find too. Do make the trip out to this site soon as closing in August, shame as we'd use it regularly now we've discovered it

A warm welcome

This is a site we visit regularly. It is a great site, so handy for all that Bristol has to offer and we do hope that it can remain open. It is lovely to now have wardens that are so welcoming and helpful, adding to the enjoyment of visiting this site.

Perfect for city break

Stayed for three nights, had a warm and friendly welcome from the wardens. We found the site very quiet and peaceful aside from some traffic noise but the quietness of the site makes up for that. Great location for the city. We walked in to Bristol not too far had a good wander around, lovely indoor market with plenty of eating places. Took the ferry back, only £1.60 for us on the caravan club site. Took the open top bus the next day as the weather was lovely, it stops right outside the site which was great took us to the SS Great Britain and Brunel centre, through the city up to the downs to Clifton and the suspension bridge and back to the city. Had a great time such a shame if Baltic Wharf closes.

The Best of Bristol

The only problem with this site is you can hardly ever book a pitch, due to its well-deserved popularity. Ideal for trips into Bristol, either strolling along the harbour-side, or taking one of the numerous ferries. The pub next door, The Cottage, serves good ales and tasty food. We can also recommend the Grain Barge, directly opposite in the harbour. We will be back - providing we can get a pitch!

Ideal for a city visit

Visited last week for a 3 night stop with friends. We'd always wanted to stay here but found booking difficult, but the recent decision to stay open an extra season was useful as so few knew about it - so we got in. Truly brilliantly placed right on the towpath, about 400 yards from the SS Great Britain, less than a very-pleasant walking mile from the centre of Bristol (or there's a regular, ridiculously cheap ferry) - for a motorhomer in particular I can't think many sites could be better placed. The facilities are clean, a little old-fashioned, but fine, the wardens friendly -the pitches all hard standing, and with little greenery (no leaves either at this time of year) so the site is a little stark - but you don't stay here for the site but for the location. BUT - there are downsides. The lack of a dog walk is truly a pain; the very adjacent pub also doesn't take dogs (a fact I found astonishing, given that it must of necessity cut much of their potential evening meal trade - do they REALISE how many CC members own dogs?!); I've never heard quite so many police and ambulance sirens (though I'm a country boy - maybe I'm spoiled!). Overall, though, very good - but what really takes the biscuit is that the authorities AREN'T - as you might expect - intending to put housing on this absolutely prime real estate plot which would raise millions of pounds towards their no-doubt beleaguered budget, but a junior/primary school....my mouth fell open in disbelief. Go whilst you can - it's worth a visit - and wonder at the stupidity of those who should know better.
