Hi Folks

Wife, Myself and Max the collie are looking for a peaceful site in NE for a few days break at the end of May/beginning of June, after the Bank Holiday. 

We like peaceful sites preferably with sea or river views.  We don't need clubhouse, bar or such facilities but would like an EHU.  We are happy to stay on basic CL type sites although we would prefer an electric hookup.  Our van is a twin-ax 7.36 metres long but our 4x4 can cope with most types of site terrain.

I have spent a lot of time reading the reviews but would appreciate further comments

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Tim and Cary

There is quite a good post a little further down about the Northumberland Coast.  I am sure you will get lots of ideas from it.

Have a good time

try the caravan club site old hartley at whitly bay it overlooks st marys lighthouse.

       see the lower picture in my profile,.royell.

Recently stayed at Old Hartley and thought it was an excellent site, the CC site at Berwick on Tweed also has sea views and is handy for Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and the Farne Islands

Dunstan hill is a nice peacefull  level site ,  and is is a short walk from Embleton,but seems to get booked up full over weekends in my experience( was going to go a few times last year but was fully booked)

Dunstanburgh castle is well worth a visit while in the area ,park at craster and walk along the coastal path ,my favorite castle that !

Thanks for all these suggestions folk but unfortunately they're all booked up for when we were hoping to go.  Our 18 year old son suffers from a recurring illness and so we are not able to book up a long way in advance.  We have to ensure that he is likely to be well enough to be left alone.

MORE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.  Lake or river views are another preference.  The only facilities we would like are an EHU, a water tap  and somewhere to empty the loo!

Thanks in anticipation

Hi - sorry me again.

I've had West Kyloe Farm and Proctors Steads in Craster suggested.  Does anyone have any  recent info on these 2 sites (I've checked the reviews but West Kyloe only has one)

Thanks again

Tim

There was also a nice little site at Belford not far off A1 near seahouses(about 9 years since I have been but its more than likely still there) it was quiet but  being more or less in the village you could go to one (or all in my case !) of the 3 or 4 pubs for a drink and a meal,few shops there as well.

 Had a quick lool in the c&c club big sites book  bluebell farm is the name of the place  I was on about I think  postcode NE70 7QE

come to think of it I am not sure what the facilities were like there it was that long ago, but they cant of been too bad I suppose, I cant remember !
