Have you tried Berwick upon tweed. Its a really nice area with a lovely beach.

Last time i went we had to leave 2days early due to really bad weather which left us sleeping in the living area of the tent because the bedroom was soaked, We have a river running under the tent/ground sheet (and we were pitched on top of a hilly bit) and one of the tent poles was bent (we were in a metal framed tent) We were the worse off either, others have completely lost there tent and packed up in the night, Saying that anything else was great, cant help the weather tho so check before you leave. :D

I too left it too late and booked a site for our van without EHU, amazing last night I got a phone call from another site telling me they had EHU available so now we are going there. I am now booking for August BH as there are a few of us going so we wont be disappointed.

I have to admit we avoid Bank holiday camping - too many people and too expensive

I've had a bit of a problem in getting booked in last minute, but we are not going until the Sunday.  If you look on the CC website, do not take their shown 'booked pitches' as gospel.  I only booked yesterday and only 2 of the 5 nights we wanted were showing as pitches available.  I rang up to check and I was told that they did just have one pitch left for the other nights, so I booked it.  I've 'phoned them again a few moments ago to extend by a night and I've got that too - although it's showing 'full up' on the website.

So the rule is: even if it is showing as booked up on line, ring up - you might get a different story.  I think this is more likely for the CC as they accept bookings without a deposit, and I'm sure people change their mind more frequently because of that.
