Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Where is there a parkrun with caravan site nearby?

Portrush (beach Parkrun), Larne and Rostrevor are all by the sea.

Castlewellan loops a 40 hectar lake but I think swimming is a no no.

Rosemarkie has a site right here



You might even get dolphins to swim with. The water is lovely and warm too (disclaimer: one of these may be an alternative fact)

I think that all of Scotland's most recent parkruns have campsites nearby. Parkruns at Prestonpans, Peebles, Dunbar; also semi-recent Loch Leven, Lochore, and Girvan.

I particularly liked Lochore Meadows (Fife) and they now have moho parking onsite lochoremeadows.org.uk

Foxlake near Dunbar is an open water swimming venue (limited times - could swim then parkrun) and nearby Whitesands campsite describes itself as on a surfing beach.

Lincoln might work OK. There's a campsite at Harsholme Country park, which is between the parkrun venue at Boultham Park and a supervised OW swimming lake at Activities Away by North Hykeham.

And reporting back - Scotlands Camping just outside Bracknell works really well for Bracknell parkrun!

(And it's cheap! A field with power, water, no other facilities. And closed in winter. Although I suspect if we had a wet summer you may need a 4x4!)

Couple more to add to the list.... both Caravan and Motorhome Club Sites, so not cheap! But they have good facilities (including very good shower blocks for afterwards!)

Incleborough Fields C&MHC, West Runton, North Norfolk - about 4 miles from Sheringham Hall parkrun. Sheringham parkrun is rather a surprise for a "flat" county!

"Bridlington" C&MHC Site E. Yorks - Actually north of Bridlington, in the postal area of Sewerby, as is the Sewerby parkrun, at Sewerby Hall! About a mile or so from the parkrun start, and it's a lovely parkrun. Clifftop and stately home gardens!

I’m going to the Bridlington site in October with the hope of doing Sewerby parkrun - it’s very scenic.

I'd like to do a bit more parkrun touristing, but also fitting it in with our motorhome travels...
