County Durham's parks split between the coast and the dales. Hartlepool and Castle Eden sit near the sea. Inland, Weardale and Teesdale hold holiday parks at Stanhope, Eastgate, Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland, with two more at Consett on the edge of the Pennines.
Residential parks gather at Darlington and Hartlepool, with more at Durham, Brasside, Chester-le-Street, Stockton-on-Tees, Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland.
The dales parks sit high. Ask about the season and winter road access before you buy at Stanhope or Eastgate, and ask every park for its pitch fee and age rule.
