caravan sites ???

[boblydon]

Having just bought a twin axle caravan, i am looking to hopefully put it on a site for the summer.

Originally i was thinking somewhere like Oban, however have now decided i would prefer it to be a bit closer as i would tend to use it more, so approx 3 hours drive from newcastle somewhere in south west scotland for the fishing, anybody know of any sites that would allow a touring van to stay for say 3 months.

I have been having a look in the caravan books and Brighouse in kirkcudbright looks a nice site, but have never fished there before as i would normally head for the Mull, any idea how much i might expect to pay for a long term pitch.

Must be on a decent site as my parents might use it through the week.

this is a decent site and has pitchesfor all season bookings,dont know the price though

Sands of Luce Holiday Park, Southwest Scotland, Galloway, Ownership, Rentals, Touring and Camping

Would agree with the Sands of Luce recommendation. Don't use a caravan but use it regularly with a tent and the kids love it. If I had the cash and it was a little closer I would have a static there. Wish it was an hour away

I have stayed at the sands of Luce a few times, nice site right on the beach, good doggie and bass beach as well.

If you take a BBQ lots of wild rabbits running around the site

Its only about 10 miles drive from the mull and only 4 miles if that to a slip way and harbour for a boat.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I will have a look at the site on line today, i forgot to mention that i am hoping to sell my boat at royal quays and buy a smaller one i can tow up there and do some fishing, likewise i fancy using the new boat in oban so a caravan midway would break up the journey.

As soon as i sell my boat or take a part ex against it, something like an Arvor/Quicksilver 18 to 20 foot boat with an outboard on the back, scotland here i come!!!.

There's a site between kirkinner and Garlieston owned and run by a couple from Alnwick. I could have a word if you're interested as it's just down the road and I know them quite well.

Also, I was fishing down at Burrowhead the other day and there's plenty room there for tourers and boats but not sure what they'd charge for a long term stay. Very handy for launching at the isle of whithorn slip

Or if you're not bothered about being on a site and dont mind the smell of farmyards I know a couple of secure places that would work out much cheaper than a caravan site, let me know if you're interested

Thanks for the kind offer Graham, i would need to have it on a site as my parents may want to use it through the week...at the moment i am looking for as many options and costs as possible, as hopefully i want to site it back end of next week.

The problem i seem to be facing is not many sites seem to want to tie their pitches up for the summer.

If you don't mind finding out prices etc for me i would really appreciate it.

Bob you have a pm

I'll have a word at the weekend and see what the prices are. Do you want your caravan and boat stored over winter or just the summer months?

 

[boblydon]
