East Yorkshire

.

Don’t tell anyone. But this little gem has been the best kept secret on the camping circuit for more than 20 years.

Bring your own boat and sail from the seawall on the Humber Estuary. If you’re a little less ambitious, there are land drains (similar to canals) to the rear of the campsite that can be navigated for miles.

“It’s like being on the Amazon when the sun shines,” says Simon Taylor, owner of Stone Creek House. “I never see a soul.”

Simon has his own sailing boat in the front garden and is happy to offer advice on navigating the estuary.

Spurn Head – the unique sand, peninsular to the east of Sunk Island – is nearby at the mouth of the estuary.

Dogs are welcome. There’s no electricity, so fill your sails. Perfect. web link

No camping here. Direct access to the beach.

The site has an outdoor pool with waterslide, and an adventure playground. web link

A great site to explore Spurn Point Nature reserve.

Clean toilets, spacious pitches on a site planted with shrubs, plants and trees. There’s fishing available in the pond or in the Humber estuary.

The Crown and Anchor pub is a few minute walk away.
