Arbroath (West Links) has a caravan park just across the road/railway (Red Lion) with touring pitches. Not sure if these are only caravans, or include motorhomes. Forfar Lochside campsite is very close ( ¼ mile ) to Strathmore RFC, where Parkrun starts and takes tents, tourers and MoHo. Arbroath Red Lion is mainly statics but has about 25 pitches for tourers and MoHo. Also in Arbroath and close by is Elliot campsite, but it only has 8 touring pitches and some are long-term booked all summer. Montrose has South Links campsite 1¼ miles from parkrun start and they take tourers and MoHo.

Big_G May 2022 4:42pm, 21 May 2022 1,767 posts	0 Big_G We stayed over at Warcombe Farm last night, which is approx 2.5 miles down to Woolacombe Dunes parkrun. It’s downhill to the event, so of course back uphill to get back to the site. It’s a fantastic event though. It’s quite a large site, but we appear to have been lucky as we asked for a grass pitch, and there is no one else on it. We usually prefer a smaller site but if I was going to do the event again (which I hope to), I’d stay here again.
