Hi all Im new to the site,

Can anyone tell me where the best camp shops are in the north east! Looking to buy a new tent and would like to actually see some of the bigger tents up and wondered if there was anywhere that had a big display of tents?

Hi mcarey786

Welcome to UKCS. Not sure about Teeside but there is a Discovery just outside Darlington and Caterick Caravans is just off the A1. Both have some tents on display and well stocked shops.

There is a very small Yeomans in Richmond but there are Yeomans shows locally as well. There is one starting in May at Riplet Castle near Harrogate. Just have a look on their website.

Before I forget there, has been an outdoor camping shop next to Butterfly World at Preston Park. Don't know if it is there this year but I guess it's worth a look. Once again some tents up and a good shop.

Hope this helps.

The best camping shop in the North East is British Caravans on Sandy Lane at Gosforth.  Loads of tents on display outside.  The only other with a decent display is Tyne Valley Garden Centre.

I would second that too United British Caravans is great and the prices are great too and the Tyne Valley one is that the one at Mickley - yeah thats a good one to but quite a bit dearer than UBC.

Thanks everyone!  I'm after either an outwell nebraska or hartford or the vango killington at the mo but I just wanted a good look at some others and just need a good top up of other stuff like good sleeping bags etc.

TV didn't have any outwells and I don't remember seeing a killington. Didn't look at the other stuff i'm afraid - only had eyes for tents!
