 To Find Site:- Leave A19 onto A186, at A192 turn left and in a short distance turn right onto B1325. This is not a bad road but take care at railway bridge as vision towards the direction of the site is not clear. At roundabout cross over and go down the side of the Delaval Arms, go slightly right and then left to site entrance which can be seen ahead. An alternative route (as suggested by the CC) is as above but turn right onto A192 and left onto A1148 (Monkseaton Drive) signed for St Marys Lighthouse. Continue to seafront and turn left towards Seaton Sluice. Turn right at roundabout at A193/B1325 then as above.
Old Hartley is situated on a cliff top overlooking the North Sea and St Mary's Lighthouse. There are just over 60 pitches, half can accept awnings. The site slopes from reception quite steeply, however the Club has minimised the effect of this by providing, mainly, level pitches with two rows of paving slabs. The awning pitches have an additional area of gravel hardstanding. All pitches are arranged so that you have a sea view. There is one toilet block which is up to usual Club standards but it can seem under pressure when the site is full. Water and waste service points are adjacent to the toilet block which can mean a heavy haul for grey water disposal from the pitches nearest the sea. There is a service point for motorhomes. There are no onsite play facilities for children. Reception sells milk and toilet chemicals.
There are walks along the cliffs from near the site entrance, one being to St Mary's Lighthouse, where, if you are energetic enough, for a small fee you can climb to the top of the lighthouse. Be warned, its 137 steps! Also nearby are the delights of Whitley Bay (?) and also the centre of Newcastle which can be accessed by bus from near the site entrance. The Delaval Arms, within a short walk of the site, advertises that it does food. On the Blyth road out of Seaton Sluice is the Astley Arms Inn which operates an amazingly good value carvery, the only downside is that it always seems to be very busy! Also on the main road in Seaton Sluice is a good chippy but be warned they are real working men's sized portions! The nearest supermarket is Sainsburys which is at the top of Monkseaton Drive( see site directions above)

Excellent Site. This was our first visit in two years, the toilet block is now refurbished and of good standard. The site, especially the awning pitches can be difficult to set up on, experience has shown that it is best to have the warden use his tractor to site you.
The local pub was once very dog friendly but unfortunately is not now. Excellent coastal walks, but beware of the cliffs, especially dog owners. This was our first year with national bus passes and we never used our car all week (dogs go free as well). Go to Whitley Bay and change there, unless you want to go to Newcastle.

Nice site with a good view, the pitches are a bit smaller than normal CC sites but big enough. You will need to use leveling block on most pitches as the site slopes a bit. When we were there the toilet block was closed but they had some excellent porta cabins in use. Which had very clean toilet and showers, they were cleaner than many other sites purpose built toilet blocks. The dog liked the site as he had a nice walk along the coastal path.
We will use this site again

Excellent caravan club site, only the shower blocks were too small to take your young child in with you and not enough room for you.
Site itself was great could see the sea and st mary's lighthouse from all pitches. Levelling blocks are a must, great to travel into whitley bay and newcastle.
DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 12 as you can not get booked in and this make it harder for people to get off as it is only a single road out.

This is a delightful site with views overlooking the sea from just about every corner of the site. The site is set back a little distance from the main road,so care is needed (My Sat Nav took me straight to the entrance). Reception sells milk and can order papers.Also at the entrance is a small information room. If you like walking there are some booklets with local walks in the area. The toilet block was closed and portacabins provided. They were clean and well maintained,though I would think there could be problems if the site became busy. The site slopes down to the cliff footpath (kids & dogs are safe due to fence) so levellers may be required.The small hardstandings comprise of paving slabs & gravel. A short distance from the site entrance is a Public House (Delaval Arms) I didn't eat there but was told the food was good. Two minutes from the Pub is a bus stop with a regular bus service (every 10 mins,Nos 308 or 309) to Whitley Bay or Newcastle. My tip would be to go to Whitley Bay and get the Metro to Newcastle as I was told the bus can take over an hour to Newcastle.The Metro takes about half an hour and the fare reasonable.(£3.30p return) to Shopping centre.
From the club site a footpath takes you into Whitley Bay is good for walking & cycling,with observation points for watching birdlife. Takes about 40 mins to walk to Whitley Bay. Some nice shops & cafes. All in all this is a great site and I will be returning.Hope the weather will be better next time.

Wow what a view all pitches get a sea view some better than others. Very high standard as all Caravan Club sites. If you go to this site go north and visit the beaches unspoilt and empty. Free car parking at beaches that we went on. Dog friendly as well.

Well maintained CC site with fantastic views. Proprietors very friendly and helpful. Walks around the coast invigorating and breathtaking. Toilets spotless, showers good. Good spot to explore tyneside whitley bay newcastle etc. Slightly sloping sites, but no trouble levelling caravan. Bring extension kit for hook up it might be required.
Many good eating houses in the locality - try The Beehive.

Usual high standard of facilities we expect from the Caravan Club. About half an hours walk along the seafront to Whitley Bay shops and beach. The site looks out over the sea and St Mary's Lighthouse, which you can visit by a causeway when the tide is out. There is a coastal path running past the site which travels along the cliff top. Can catch the Metro into Newcastle on Tyne but didn't try this.
