Shame it's going

As usual the site staff were hard-working, helpful and pleasant with facilities kept clean, neat and tidy. The site is in an urban area and is therefore not quiet although most of the road and water borne noise is not intrusive. This was our second visit to Baltic Wharf and both have been blighted by a single noisy motorhomer who seems to think we want to listen to their very loud TV and/or music. Very sad!! The site will be a great loss to the Caravan Club.

Half Term visit

Returned on Sunday after a five day stay. As with the other reviewers it is such a shame about the closure. This is a busy site which brings people to Bristol all the year round adding to its income. The sale of this land by the council will be a short term bonus compared to the long term gain from tourists. I did not use my car once which was a bonus for me as I got to see lots more. There is a ferry into Bristol or the bus which stops outside the gate. So much to do in Bristol, theatres, science centre, aquarium, cinema, shopping, both high street retailers and individual outlets, lots of cafes and restaurants and so much more. The tourist information centre is very helpful, its on the left as you get off the ferry. As for the site, it maintains the usual club standards, very clean and tidy with friendly helpful wardens. Also try the pub next door, lovely food and very handy if you don't want to cook or walk far.

Great Site but sad

Great site and very helpful wardens but very sad it might be the last time we ever go as the council still propose to close it.The official story is a school, everyone, including locals say flats, sorry apartments. As the tv programme "Location Location Location". So much to do and see in Bristol. Take a river taxi or walk into town, loads of places to eat and drink, loads of shops etc, street art including Banksy. Would recommend The Grain Barge on opposite side of Floating Harbour for good food, drink and atmosphere. Explore the historic boats near to the M Shed and The SS Great Britain. Visit Clifton, a lovely village with character, go to Primrose Cafe, you won't be disappointed, go over to the Clifton Suspension Bridge admire the view. That's Bristol in short. The closure of this site will be Bristols loss.

Sad Visit

This is a very sad review as my family love this site. We have stayed here many times and it is a firm favourite with our two son's. I am sure this visit will now be our last as it is due to close, such a shame to lose this wonderful site. Everything we did one of us commented that this was probably for the last time, the water taxi, the walk down to M shed and the visit to ZaZaBazaar. We shall certainly miss it and all the wardens we have met here over the years.

Brilliant but!

Brilliant site shame it is closing staff friendly and helpful until I asked to exchange a lite gas bottle which is on the recall list. I was first told that they did not exchange and I would have to go a calor gas dealer.this was after I saw a supply being delivered, I asked the driver if he would exchange he told me no but this site should,I then went on to your website and first on the list was Baltic wharf,armed with this info I went to the warden again and was told no if we give you a bottle we will be one short and it's difficult to get it replaced.i am then still stuck with an urgent recall bottle.is this the wardens not wanting the hassle or your site not being up to date.

Another great stay

Been here many times in our caravan and now motorhome. Great location, easy walking distance into town. Lovely fish and chips at the Mermaid Fish Bar. Lots of charity shops and good market on Tuesdays. Very quiet for once 9/2. Will return.

Another great stay

Our second stay in the last year in our motorhome. Great location. Used the water taxi and bus to get into town. Used the Cottage Inn for evening meals, good portions, nice food. Drove across to Bath. Not great roads/journey but Bath lovely. Really enjoyed Baltic again, let's hope they can sort out a positive outcome for this site post August.

Jewel in the crown

This was our first visit to the site and we liked it so much that we have booked again for March. Location is superb for both walking and biking, with all the city's attractions so accessible. The only down side is that we understand the site is to close in August, as the City Council are looking to sell the site possibly for a new school but more than likely for yet more lucrative waterfront apartments. We realise local authorities need to realise their assets in these chastened times, but surely this site needs to be retained for public use. Is the Caravan Club in discussion with the Council over its future, or does the Club need to help support local people in trying to make the case for its retention?

Can we save this excellent site?

Another excellent week at Baltic Wharf. Site full every night as usual. Myra and Derek the wardens top class! However the thought that this site will close at the end of Aug 2015 fills us with sadness as we have spent many happy hours here over the years. Can the club please try to purchase the land or whatever it takes to secure it for the Club's future use? If its just a money problem lets set up a fund to try to save it. Its well worth making the effort. When its gone its gone!

We just love this site

This was not our first visit as, for us, Baltic Wharf is one of our great favourites. There's nothing one can say that hasn't already been said for this lovely site, and we'll be very sorry to see it close. Having said that, we were told by a local that the site is to be developed as a new school, so it will be good for Bristol. We can only hope that the Club will be able to secure another site, so that we can all continue to enjoy this great city.
