Hi folks. Had a tourer for a year and family had previously owned a static on Filey, East Yorks.

Looking to purchase a static from humber caravans or bridlington caravans as I cannot find a van to suit my rather limited budget or the private ones for sale are on expensive sites.

What I am asking is does anyone know a site on the east yorkshire coast (ideally Bridlington) that would take a caravan rather than forcing you to buy from them and that has no age restriction? I have no idea where to start but the few I have called expect you to purchase a rather highly marked up van direct from them and I am kind of giving up on the idea.

Any help or advice appreciated.

I found the same in the Scarborough/Bridlington area (I think it's the same everywhere), so I didn't bother either

The only site I know of on the East Yorkshire coast, that doesn't insist that you buy a van off them, is Newton Shores near Aldbrough. They don't sell vans but they have an area for statics

It's a basic site (no toilets or showers)but it does have fully serviced pitches. It's also very close to the beach which is a bonus but it is very rural. Hope you manage to get sorted

A seasonal pitch for a large tourer is probably the easiest way to go about things

That's what we did. Sold our static at a massive loss when my mother was ill and we couldn't get away. After she passed away we bought a decent size tourer, which the dealer delivered to a site for us. At least, if we decide to give it up later, we can sell it ourselves for a fair price.
