For families staying at the campsite, great attractions include the Downs Park: a cosy and safe place for young children to play and also an ideal picnic spot.
Many excellent cycle paths can be easily accessed from Baltic Wharf Club Campsite, including the Bristol to Bath path if you are feeling particularly energetic and adventurous. A selection of boat trips are available from the campsite, which makes for an excellent way to take in some of the most scenic views in this part of the county.

Shame to lose this great site
Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
We have visited Baltic Wharf for many years. Though not too far from our rural home, we enjoy the easy access to city life the site offers. A ferry stop outside the gate, easy level walks to MShed, to our favourite Left Handed Giant Brewpub (amongst others), to restaurants, theatres, shopping and, a bit more of an uphill challenge, to Clifton, its famous bridge, observatory and village. On the way down, take in the museum and cathedral. Without Baltic Wharf campsite we wouldnt have explored nearly so much. We will be very sad and sorry the day it closes. Bristol will be the poorer for its demise. A short sighted decision to sell the land and forego the tourist dollar from maybe 100 visitors a night, year-round, spending in pubs, restaurants, shops, theatres etc.
One of our favorite sites
Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
This has been our go to site since 1994, there is so much to do in and around Bristol, it is a lively city, don't expect tranquility, it is the location that is special, every time you open the back gate onto the wharf there is a sense of delight and stress release, after our 55th visit we feel like locals. Sadly the site will close this year but the site managers keep it spotless, they are very friendly and are quick to sort any possible issues. If you like cider then would highly recommend The Orchard, they have an amazing list of local cider and also some cask ales, they have music jam sessions some evenings too, it is a short walk tucked behind the marina before reaching HMS GB which is another great place to visit. There is easy access to the city on foot or by water ferry. We would offer this advice, it is not always easy to judge timings but do not arrive before 1.00 pm, the site entrance is not big and vehicles can end up queuing out onto the road outside which is not ideal. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

A good site turned Great due to Lindsey and Michelle
Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
Bristol has become our favourite site, the location of the site is so so convenient, its a short walk to a hive of activity and a mega amount of eating and drinking establishments, the river is literally on the door step. The site managers are the star of this location, Lindsey (hope i have spelt your name right) and Michelle have done so much to make visitors stays a memorable one, the site is spotless, the kind and welcoming manor of the managers is fantastic, they can't do enough to help. They have even put together a map of their favourite places to visit, ok this might be influenced by stout, porter, IPA sours but all the same, its a wonderful map and i would recommend you give it a whirl where you will get to sample some of Bristols finest brews. We always spend ages chatting with Lindsey and Michelle and end up getting some new insight in to where to eat etc, they are a shining example of site Managers and credit to the C&M club. Sadly the site is due to close at the end of 2024 and this is devastating news, one can only hope that the club are able to locate another premises in the City and let Lindsey and Michelle do their thing to keep us all visiting Bristol. If you haven't visited yet, i highly recommend you do.
Brilliant site
Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
Stayed for 4 nights. Perfect location, with everything just through the gate. The Harbourfest was on when we arrived, so loads to see. The ferry service is excellent to get to the city centre etc, and only a short walk to SS Great Britain. The site is clean and relatively quiet with a bit of road noise. The Bristol emergency services seem to love a siren! The wardens are lovely too and keep the site clean and tidy. Such a shame this site is closing as perfect location.
Absolutely love this place
Baltic Wharf Club Campsite
Visited Baltic Wharf site for the second time last week. It's in such a perfect position right on the harbourside at Bristol, ideally placed for walking around the harbour area or up to Clifton, there's great shops, bars & restaurants nearby or just sit on a bench and watch the world go by. Sadly they are due to close in December so that more flats can be built, this is an absolute travesty as it's the perfect spot for motorhomer or caravaners who want to be in a beautiful spot but close to the City. Some of the facilities are dated (hence only 4 *) but the threat of closure has been hanging over this site for a while so that's clearly why it's not been worth investing in updating. Have booked for one last visit later in the year - will be very sad to see this little oasis the middle of Bristol disappear forever :-(.
