A Coastal Escape Filled With Northumberland Charm: Discover Proctors Stead Caravan Park

If you love dramatic coastal scenery, historic castles, and peaceful countryside retreats, Proctors Stead Caravan Park offers a truly special location on the Northumberland Coast. Nestled just one mile from the sea and within strolling distance of Craster and the iconic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, it’s a base where unforgettable holidays come naturally.

As a long-standing local, family-run park with a friendly community feel, Proctors Stead is an ideal choice for caravan and motorhome owners, and an exciting location for future static holiday home possibilities too. Ideal Caravans is delighted to support the park and help anyone dreaming of a lifestyle by the sea.

A Haven for Walkers, Wildlife-Lovers & Coastline Explorers

From the moment you arrive at Proctors Stead, the very best of Northumberland becomes your back garden:

  • A relaxed stroll to Craster — famous for its smoked kippers

  • Easy routes to Embleton Bay, Beadnell and Bambrugh

  • Cycling, bird-watching and golfing opportunities nearby

  • Occasional sightings of the Northern Lights over the coast

It’s the perfect location for active holidays — or peaceful days spent watching the world slow down by the sea.
