Please support us in our attempt to convince Bristol City Council to reconsider their decision to close the Baltic Warf Campsite at the end of the year. The decision was taken without any public consultation and is likely tohave a devastating effect on the local harbour community, tourism and businesses.

The site, a waterside haven on Cumberland Rd open since 1986, is a great Bristol success story; open all year with one of the highest occupancy rates in the country. People are drawn from across the UK right into heart of Bristol to explore and enjoy our wonderful city. Year after year campers liven up the area bringing summer trade and a vital winter lifeline to local businesses. Some local traders, such as The Cottage Inn and the Bristol Ferry Company, are very concerned for their own future should the site close. There simply is no alternative campsite in Bristol!

Closing the only campsite in central Bristol also flies in the face of the national campaign to inspire people to holiday in the UK (What would Gromit say?! See: Your great adventure). Please sign our petition to convince our Counsellors to reconsider and allow this vital facility to stay open!
