The county’s latest caravan and camping site at Druridge Bay Country Park is opening for business. 
 
A small family campsite nestled within the Country Park, once fully complete there will be 20 touring caravan or campervan pitches, each available with electric and water, as well as eight tent pitches, all available with electric. 
 
Facilities include shower/toilet washrooms, (including disabled), a kitchen area for washing dishes and a waste-water disposal point 
In the park itself there’s a children’s play park, on-site cafe and information centre, miles of countryside walks, trails and coastline and, with purchase of a permit, watersports available on the lake. 
 
While the campsite first opens, it is only at a limited capacity, with 12 Campervan/ Caravan pitches and seven tent pitches available (all without electric hook up).  Toilets and showers are located within the visitor centre /cafe building

Full payment is required 24 hours after reserving a pitch. 
 
Councillor John Riddle, Cabinet Member for Local Services, said: “It’s been a long-held ambition to allow a limited amount of overnight camping at this country park and it’s a spectacular location to stay. 
 
“It’s all part of our major investment and improvement programme in our Country Parks and we were keen to get the first plots open for business as soon as possible. 
 
“We are confident visitors will enjoy their stay in this beautiful part of our county.” 
 
Druridge Bay Ward Councillor Scott Dickinson added: “I welcome any investment into our area which gives the opportunity for people to come and explore in a managed way without taking away its natual beauty for local people.  
 
“I’m sure the site will be tightly managed so both locals and visitors can enjoy the area together.”
