site by boats

[Chrissylizzie]

Ihave a dream of sitting in the caravan, feet up watching boats of some sort. Does anybody know of any such site either in UK or Europe please?

Try the car deck of the Isle of Wight ferry.

More seriously, I think that the Camping and Caravanning Club site at Keswick is on the shore of the lake.

The Waveney river centre, Beccles, suffolk. The place is fantastic, you can sit in your caravan all day with an uninterupted view of the river Waveney on the Broads. Also it is a marina so you can sit and watch the boats come in and out all day. Its a hidden gem!

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds great and hopefully before too long, we will give it a try. Thanks again.

The caravan site at Ardmair Point, a couple of miles above Ullapool (NW Scotland) is a very nice site and you can watch the ferries and other boats using Ullapool.

Chris, As an alternative to the IOW ferry, I have seen touring caravans pitched on the shoreline near Calshot Castle (E.Heritage)where Southampton Water enters the solent. Not an official site as such just a cordoned off part of the car park. I'd imagine very basic facilities and I'm not even sure how you can arrange a pitch. (Does someone else know??). However, if you want a window full of Queen Mary 2, QE2 and such like, there's no place where they come nearer.Ken

Thanks everyone for these suggestions. They all sound lovely and I will put them on my list. Thanks again and happy caravanning.

Ardmair point just north of Ullapool is very relaxing, just a pity it's 650miles from me in Herefordshire. You could also try Watermouth cove which is about 3 miles out of Ilfracoombe heading towards Coombe Martin. It has a natural harbour right next to the site, and with the two other ports mentioned there's plenty of boating activity. This one is easy access for you by the motorway network and about 250 miles away.
