Hi all

We are looking to go to Crimdon dene for the bank holiday weekend but reading the reviews on here i am not too sure!! Saying that all the reviews are from last year and i am sure it has had a recent make over anyone been this year and is it worth going for the weekend or should we stay well clear??

The other option was sandy bay!! any views on this also very appreciated!!

Kids are 4 & 7 if that matters

Have stayed at both sites, both only once and about 4 /5 years ago. Never again. Not sure what the reviews say, bit both sites were very poor. Toilets at Sandy Bay were a portakabin, while the Bays at Crimdene are now all Hardstanding but often underwater and lots not level. I am not a snob, but both sites are full of families, who enjoy swearing both at each other and couldnt care about anyone else. When we complained about the toilet block at Sandy Bay we were told to leave the site if not happy.

I would try Haggerston if you can get a good deal, or try Eyemouth which is a lovely site.

Whilst visiting family at Hartlepool a couple of months ago we had a quick run to see what improvements had been made since Park Resorts had taken over. Its smartened up a lot with more facilities for kids than what it used to be. There is only the two of us now, and to be honest we both said if it was £1 per night we wouldn't want to stay there. Its like a static caravan city.
Wasn't impressed where the tourers are located either. It may suit some but certainly not us. Each to their own I suppose.

right I've spent a couple of nights there and I think the site is fine. It's clean. All the tourer pitches are now hard standing with a grass area for the awning. The warden is regularly round. The kids playground can get a bit noisy during the day but no problems that I can see. I would imagine the pitches next to the club house could be noisy on an evening but you can choose your own pitch so we picked one at the opposite end of the tourer area and it was fine

Thanks miss baritone for your input may spend a weekend and see what we think thanks for your help!! Its just to keep  the kids occupied for a weekend (4 & 7)  so thought the pool park etc were a good idea!

A bit more info now we've been there 10 days.

We haven't been into the pool so can't comment on that. The club house is very small for a site of this size and could do with a refurb but the meal we had there was nice and a reasonable price.

The concrete pitches are on a very slight slope which isn't a problem in itself but when it rains water cascades through the awning because of the slope.

The site was fine for a weekend but I wouldn't stay longer than that
