Surprising Site
As we travelled southwards from Scotland, this site was conveniently located for a short stop off and was a wonderful surprise, on a bank holiday weekend as well, as although full with plenty of coming and going during the three days we stayed, the site was very peaceful and the view of the sea and shipping beyond the lighthouse, spellbinding. Many hours seemed to pass with us just watching the sea and sky change moods and colours.
The WC block whilst compact was kept spotless and was more than adequate at peak use times whilst the general site condition, during such a busy spell was excellent and reflected the hard work, care and attention the friendly wardens put into the site.
As noted elsewhere, beware that the site has a steep slope that affords views to sea from almost all pitches but definitely requires levellers for those of us motorhomes, if the eggs are not to run into the downside of the frying pan each morning.
There is not much spare site once everyone is parked up and those pitches at the bottom of the site are more level and have a brilliant grandstand view of the sea but a public footpath is immediately on the other side of the site chain link fence, so when you look out, others maybe looking in.
T'was so good, we have already booked a longer return next year and hope to spend time discovering nearby Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. Will also share one of the enormous portions of Fish and Chips from The Harbour View next time though.....be warned - they do serve huge portions of fish !
