Hi everyone,

The Club has been operating Baltic Wharf campsite for several years on a renewable, short term lease while the Council planned for the redevelopment of the site into up to 190 new homes.
Sadly, notice has now been served to us, which means that we will be required to vacate Baltic Wharf by 31 May 2021. However, pitches at the campsite are still on sale for arrivals up to 16 May 2021, departing no later than 12pm, 17 May.


In 2017, we purchased a new location, just one mile away near Ashton Court, and we recently received a positive response from the local planning office. There are still a number of hurdles for us to get through before planning consent is granted, but we are hopeful that this new location will be approved for development into a touring site soon. We will, of course, make sure we keep you up-to-date with the latest news about this potential new campsite.

Update 10 May 2021:

We are pleased to advise that notice to vacate the site has now been extended by 4 months. We are now welcoming arrivals up to and including Sunday 19 September 2021, departing no later than 12noon, 20 September.

Very much what was really the plan when the council went down  the "sympathy"route saying they wanted the grounds for a much needed Primary schoolundecided

If you're interested here's a stage of the Baltic Wharf development plan which includes 40% affordable housing, Goram Homes are Bristol City's housing company. The Water Sports Centre and Cottage Inn will still be there and if the new CAMC site goes ahead the small car park also in this area behind the pub and boats will be the nearest one for anyone wanting to visit the water front from the proposed new CAMC site with their car. smile

We seem to have been lucky with the Baltic Wharf that the development has been delayed and delayed and we have been able to use the site for longer than first thought. Whilst it is sad that we will lose the site, what they do with the land is neither here nor there once it is no longer a campsite as far as I am concerned. Fingers crossed that all goes well with the Planning Inspector and that the new Bristol site comes to fruition sooner rather than later.

Don't encourage them, Brue. It's only a mile. Save the planet. Walk.
