Lidalia Caravan Park

The gravel crunches under your tyres as you roll into Lidalia, and you can already feel the slower rhythm of a proper caravan park settling in around you.

This is a straightforward stop for tourers and motorhomers — the kind of place where vans nose in for a night or two, awnings come out if the weather holds, and nobody's in a rush. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're travelling with four legs. It's not a site that shouts about bells and whistles, just honest hardstanding or grass pitches depending on what's available when you arrive.

Expect a low-key, no-frills stay. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, so ask at reception if you've packed the fire bowl. Facilities aren't detailed extensively, which usually means the basics are covered without fanfare — this is a park that does what it says on the tin. The vibe leans practical rather than fancy, ideal if you're just after somewhere safe to park up, plug in, and plan tomorrow's route without fuss.
