Why stay here ...
Updated 28 September 2021: We are pleased to advise that notice to vacate the site has now been extended by a further 5 months. We are now welcoming arrivals up to and including Wednesday 30 March 2022, departing no later than 12 noon, 31 March 2022.
The Club has been operating Baltic Wharf campsite for several years on a renewable, short term lease while the Council planned for redevelopment of the site into up to 190 new homes.
Please Note: Significant construction works on the regeneration of Bristol's Western Harbour area is currently ongoing directly outside of the site grounds and will continue until the end of 2021 at the earliest. Noise disruption whilst on site can be expected seven days per week between 7am-7pm.
Baltic Wharf Club Site is a waterside haven, located right in the heart of Bristol's beautifully re-developed dockland and close to the city centre with its lively shops and entertainment. For families staying at the caravan site, great attractions include the Zoo and 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 Site, including the Bristol to Bath path if you are feeling particularly energetic and adventurous. A selection of boat trips are available from the caravan park, which makes for an excellent way to take in some of the most scenic views in this part of the county.

Amazingly located.
Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site
Before I start the review,if you follow the "new" route in ,this is because of the road works outside the site,where it states sign post for Bedminster and a railway sign to Temple Meads I was unable to see this sign and missed the turning on the left,so just follow the new route given and keeping large self storage building on your left. Missing this left turn,did cause a approach from the other direction amidst busy traffic.
I think all that has been said about this site has been said before,with the location so handily placed for visiting Bristol.We did all the normal touristy bits plus a walking tour.This actually was quite good ,with a tour guide showing area's not known to the normal tourist without knowledge.
Again much has been said about the Club losing this site,for yet more building,and yet is there is yet more housing,being flats or apartments galore being built now behind the SS Great Britain.We also popped in the Orchard Pub at the rear of SS Great Britain,and on the notice board was a local campaign to save the trees around the Baltic Wharf campsite.
I just hope this is not our last visit.
Had to come
Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site
Had to come to this site as it has been on my list for some time and with the sad news that it’s almost had its day I couldn’t leave it any longer. Such a fantastic little site even with the road works right outside ( that’s why I had to go low with question 2 ) so if this site is on your list of places make the most of the time it has left you will not be disappointed.
Will really miss this site. Shame on the council for wanting to develop the land
Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site
Really hoping this campsite doesn’t close. Such a lot of development in the area you’d think they could leave this popular campsite to remain a campsite to encourage diversity in tourism.
Have stayed here several times and have booked another stay before its due to close. So convenient for all that Bristol has to offer just outside the campsite gate.
Please don’t close this site
Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site
This site is an absolute gem. Sadly there are plans to close it as Bristol Council want to build even more apartments in the area. Some things should be left alone. This end of the Wharf is so nice where you can walk through the old boat yard and is accessible to all. If it were to move to the proposed site further up the river then those less mobile would have quite a trek down to the Wharf, especially at night.
So take advantage of the extensions and let’s hope the proposed plans to close Baltic Wharf fall through. 🤞
Fantastic location!
Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site
This is a site in a fantastic location on the floating harbour. The special thing about the site is that there is a little gate leading directly on to the harbour. At the moment however the lock on this gate is broken. Please Baltic Wharf - get the lock mended ASAP - it really will not cost much! A whip round on the site would probably raise enough! We will really miss this site when it goes as there is no where else within walking distance of the centre if Bristol. I hope the club will be able to find another site nearby. Thanks Baltic Wharf for another great stay, we will be back very soon!
