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 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!
The site is an oasis in the city and ideally located for visiting with a motorhome. The Wardens are wonderful and very helpful (as they were at the Longleat Site when they used to work there). Such a huge shame the site is closing as I tried so hard last year to book in but it was completely booked up. Fingers crossed the Caravan Club will manage to locate another area in the city for it's members. Just a pointer but not a criticism of the Wardens but the Disabled shower is hopeless, if a moveable wheelchair ramp could be temporarily used then the main showers might be prove better.
Comment from The Club:
Many thanks for leaving a review. The warden has informed us that they have fitted a pump to the shower in the disabled facilities, which has resolved the issue. I hope this helps address your concerns and the wardens look forward to greeting you again soon. Once again thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
