Baltic Wharf availability
Hi
I have due to a change of plan been checking availability at Baltic Wharf to try and get a pitch as a couple of day stop over on way to Devon.
The club system was showing full and remained full for the couple of weeks I was checking, then like magic this morning virtually every day in May was showing availability, strange usually a couple of days pop up but not virtually everyday.
any thoughts!

Probably to do with the hand to mouth nature of the site lease which is coming to an end as soon as redevelopment is agreed? It seems that recently it has been extended for short periods at a time. Enjoy whilst you can.

Looks as though there are still a few pitches for the Harbour Festival July 15th (check out the dates) not to be missed if you like really good music and food! We experienced this event, didn't get much sleep but it was a fantastic weekend.

Saw a message on FB earlier this evening that stated that the Baltic Wharfe site is to stay open till 19th Dec, (or there abouts) but it depends on the council's next decision so some booking might have to be cancelled. Can't find the post now so it may have been a hoax. Any one else spot it? No word from Ro on the matter!

It's until late December if staff can be found to run it.

Yes they do seem to be milking it, although it is popular so I can understand that. We need access to buses out of Bristol the other way this visit, (nowhere to park MH where we are going) but Oakham farm looks good for access to Portishead, which we also visit periodically and would be ideal for that.

I note the price of BW goes up to £42 per night in mid March, perhaps that is Easter Term end?
Oakham is on a bus route but no idea what the service is like. It is co-locate with a fantasitc museum which has a cafe. I usually have the tow car with me but for the saving you may well be able to use a taxi and still save?

A quick check on Google Maps shows the stop outside the site is on Stagecoach's route 59 which looks like a 2 hourly service between Nailsea and Portishead. For Bristol you would have to travel towards Nailsea, alight at Tyntesfield NT and change to the X6 service to Bristol.

Here's the link, apologies if If I've got anything wrong, I read it briefly as I wondered if our M/H would be charged. Best to check it through.

That is currently as we are in the Christmas / New Year peak. £38.60 all of February and most of January. Still a fair bit, but then they seem able to fill it. I don’t think we have been there any time of the year from Winter to August peak, when it hasn’t been full are almost so. Although I expect this Christmas / New year might be an exception given the late decision and the apparent lack of any promotion.

Steve, its attraction is its location and, with only 55 pitches, it's likely any campsite in the same place would sell out.
however, IMHO £47 is a taking the Michael....

I wonder how much of a visitor downturn these cities will see, particularly that the zones appear to spread quite a way out from city centres.

Just checked on the Government web site and it says I will be charged £100 per day in the Bristol zone for my Euro 5 diesel motorhome. No charge for my tow car. That is Abbey Wood and Baltic Wharf kicked into touch even if I was willing to pay the site price.
