Thorntonloch Caravan Park just off the A1 about 4 miles south of Dunbar, East Lothian. Cheap, cheerful and friendly site. So close to the beach you can almost step out of your van and onto the beach! A right little jewel in the crown. Post code is EH42 1QS (for the sat-nav users).

If you're a surfer, take your board, great surf.

If you're a fisherman, take the rods, great sea fishing, especially Bass.

If you're lazy - then this is the place for you to relax completely! :)

Is this close enough? You can just see the entrance to the campsite on the right where the statics are. Golden Cap at Seatown in Dorset. The white building close to the beach is the Anchor Inn...what more could you ask for?

Hmm I don't like the weather on that last one - can you pay a supplement to change it?

Good grief this is an old post resurrected but I'd love to find somewhere like Shell Island near Barmouth, no caravans I'm afraid and lovely mid week but weekends and especially BH weekends are not so good.

Hippychick which one were you referring to? emvids post seems to have disappeared - We've done Wales/West Country now so I fancy the east coast for a change.

I can second North Norfolk coast. it's where we used to holiday from Leeds with our young kids. We stayed in cottages so can't comment on specific campsites but not too far from Leeds (though a lot is single carriageway). We loved it so much we now live in Norfolk!

 I am only allowed to tell you that there are lots of semi-wild camping spots on Angelsey, and all are very close to the beach. ie less than 10 yards.

 Good luck.


I know you posted this a long time ago lol, but if you are still active on here is there any way I could find out some further info regarding such spots?

Thanks.

Glenbrittle campsite.  Glenbrittle, Isle of Skye.  Stunning location next to the Cuillins and beach was deserted in September when we went there.  Campsite literally on the beach.

Looks very nice, a little too far though for a couple of nights at 9 hours.

Thanks.

We're off to Freshwater East in Pembrokeshire for the coming half term week.  The beach is just accross the road from the CC site.  It looks good - will leave a review when we get back.
