We would recommend Church Point and Cresswell Towers Holiday Parks for a more peaceful and relaxed setting.

Church Point has minimal on park facilities, making it the perfect holiday when you want to escape the outside world and just enjoy each other's company. This park has also been rated particularly highly by our guests staying as a couple.

Cresswell Towers is just a short stroll from one of the region's biggest and most spectacular beaches, plus new for 2022, we've added stylish 1 bedroom caravans, ideal for couples.

Crimdon Dene Holiday Park in County Durham offers touring pitches for campervans, touring caravans and motorhomes. Pitches can start from as little as £10 per night and vary depending upon the time of year you choose to visit and pitch type you select.
