Convenient site for a visit to Bristol
Stayed for two nights in late September in order to meet up with a cousin. The site is easy to find and access at the Cleve Rugby Football Club. On the afternoon of our arrival it took some time to find someone in the club house who could tell us where where the pitches were. There are three double electric hook up posts for six level grass pitches. We pitched next to the hedge surrounding the children's play area which was very sheltered. The toilets which were large reasonably clean are located on the side of the large club house. Water and CWD are on the back of the building. The club bar is open in the evening if you want to have a drink. We did not see Mr. McNally during our stay and left the pitch money in an envelope with a member of staff. There is a bus stop about 100 yards outside the Club with one bus an hour to Bristol City Centre. However they are not very reliable! This is a very good site ideal for a stopover to Wales or Cornwall and we would use it again.
Great for access to Bristol
This is a lovely secluded site located to the side of a rugby club. Neil is very friendly and met us on arrival. The site is flat with short grass. There is a childrens play area on site and clean, well maintained toilets. There were no rugby games or functions taking place when we stayed so it was very quiet. However, a venue nearby had a function on the Saturday night with the DJ playing until 1am. I was able to sing along to most of the tracks it was that loud! As another reviewer has mentioned, if the club has a function, I imagine it would be quite loud as the club also has an outdoor space adjacent to the CL field. As there were no games on, the bar was not open at all. There is a Tesco Metro round the corner though so not a problem for food and drink. The gates were not shut at night (at least not before 11pm) but there were no unwelcome visitors. We would definitely stay again if visiting Bristol.
Great stopover
We stayed here for 2 nights on our way back from Cornwall, and to see family and friends in the area. Access to the site is very easy, with it being just off the ring road, which takes you straight to the M32/M4/M5. A tesco express is within walking distance, and a sainsburys a short drive away. We were the only people there at the time so it was great for the kids to run around. There was a wedding on at the venue on the Saturday night, and while you could hear the music, it was certainly no more of a disturbance than you get from kids on other sites. Very good value for money, had 2 nights here with hookup for the same as 1 night at a club site. The bloke who runs it was very friendly and helpful.
Only negative point for us was that there were some local kids riding their bikes up and down the access road on the Sunday, who were shouting things and making gestures towards my wife as she drove back in from the shops, would be better if the gates got closed and you got a key or something to gain access.
Will definitely book in again to visit family and friends in the future, and to break up the return journey when we go to Devon and Cornwall.
Baltic Wharf Full? Go Here
People always say Baltic Wharf is full, so if you want to be in Bristol try here. Balloon Festival? try here or as a rally. We attended life long friends (fellow caravaners who didn't know this CL existed!!) wedding anniversary do at the rugby club next door, so any noise was of our own making, but we didn't so it wasn't an issue. Neil does a grand job running this CL, so support him. Plenty of space to spread out. The toilets are convenient and spotless. 2 water taps. Rubbish bins and chemical disposal are discrete. Bristol City Centre is a bus ride away, so you bus pass holders don't have to worry about traffic in town. Follow the directions in the book, or the signs to Cleve RFC from the Ring Road, easy drive in and out. We have family in the area, this is twixt and between and now we know it will use again.
Not at all peaceful.
Stayed here two nights and both nights there were functions. Lots of disturbance from music and kids playing. Had I have known about both nights I'd have left after the first.
Can't fault the location for access to Bristol with an hourly bus service just outside.
It's in a nice area too and the guy running it was very friendly, but I would ask about functions if staying weekends. I also think the price is too high with the chance of being disturbed.
