(NE30 1JE) - 9 Fish Quay

This is free roadside parking on the outskirts of a large city, at a working dock. If you want no noise then best stay in a campsite. We stayed here Friday and Saturday night on a bank holiday weekend so we could go to an event in North Shields. We had no problem with noise after about 10/11 at night, the road wasn’t too busy with traffic and everyone was friendly enough. We would stay here again.

Great spot. Seven other vans here. Lively place around the corner with eateries and bars. Watching the boats in and out of the Tyne.

Very loud spot! Trucks and forklifts going past at all hours. As the name suggests, it is a fishing quay, so the smell of fish is constantly in the air. After a night here everything in my van stunk of the smell of fish. Toilets are available but not 24hr and not very clean. lots of drunk people on a night and people setting fireworks off on the beach, with some seemingly aimed at the vans.

it seems the travellers have started parking down there I'd give it a miss not a great experience and shame as its a nice location but ended up leaving at 11.30pm and travelling around trying to find somewhere else to park

We was in a small motorhome Great spot and free parking,toilets available but not sure what time until. Nice places to eat and drink plus lovely walks Only downside was inconsiderate dog owners letting their dogs bark at all hours (one left outside) would stay again though.

if by some miracle you manage to get parked here on a weekend be prepared for van doors banging until all hours, dogs barking and people shouting and talking loud as drunk in or outside of their vans. Lovely place with great local amenities but absolutely NOT a peaceful overnight park up at all on a weekend. Genuine and honest review from our experience

Hebben hier twee goede nachten doorgebracht. Is erg rustig. Zeker ook omdat we om de hoek stonden, voorbij de voor de RNLI gereserveerde ruimte. Publieke toiletten en voldoende gelegenheid om je afval kwijt te kunnen. Leuke plek voor een kustwandeling. En met de e-bikes zijn we naar het bruisende Newcastle gegaan wat goed te doen was en bovendien heel erg leuk was. De camper stond veilig.

Nice place with a beautiful view. Mostly quiet. Public toilet open during the day.

Tolles Plätzchen. War leider schon sehr voll. ACHTUNG! Auf dem Parkplatz daneben (low lights park) ist das Übernachten im Auto verboten!

Perfect stop for the night before we caught the ferry to Amsterdam. Enjoyed tea at the Ships Cat, nice and peaceful and fab views. Definitely recommend

Beautiful place next to the water I stayed Sunday to Monday no payment whatsoever Friendly and nice people around here public toilets open to 4pm a pub open to 23:00 so toilets are there if needed

Stayed here one night Monday/Tuesday and it was loud from working forklift and truck, midnight till early morning. In evening time some "low level people" wondering about with alcohol being noisy and wake up in the morning to find some rubbish around our van pretending to be ours. Sorry to ruin good reviews but this is what we experienced.

Guter Übernachtungsstop, vor oder nach der Fähre. Nette Umgebung mit einigen Pubs/Restaurants. Fußläufig ca. 20min zur Metro, um nach Newcastle reinzufahren.

Nice place by the ocean, between two grassy plots. Quiet at night. Three other motor homes parked around us but there was plenty of space. Nice to have the public restrooms nearby for daytime use. We didn’t see any garbage by the roadside! :-)

nice wild life. beautiful place.

Spannender Platz. Wir verbrachten eine ruhige Nacht hier. Sahen Schiffe einlaufen und Fischer bei der Arbeit. In der Nacht sehr ruhig.

Surprisingly marvellous! Beautiful walk around the harbour, little cafe selling ice-cream and coffee. Bins and access to a water tap. Oh, and Internet. A few cars/vehicles drive by in the evening, and you will have other vans for company. Well worth a night stop

Arrived in the small hours after a mix up with a diversion due to the A1 being closed. very quiet spot when I pulled up with a handful of other motorhomes present. Woken up early by fishing boats leaving but this didn't bother me at all. Nice to watch the boats come and go early in the morning. Would stay here again

Gratis plek … maar zeer onrustig! Verkeer stopte om 23:00 uur, maar om 04:00 kwamen de eerste vrachtwagens ons al wakker maken!

A good place to stay clean and tidy also a toilet block close by. Tynemouth Metro station is about a 10 min walk away, we stayed two nights 1st night (Saturday) a little noise from the surrounding pubs and motorbikes came late evening, 2nd night (Sunday) very peaceful. Called into the fishmonger for fresh fish and fishcakes on the Monday morning as we left for home. All in all a good visit.

Would give this 4.5* if we could. Lovely view, very quiet at night. Not too far from bars and public toilets.

Unlike the other car parks close by there is no sign that states that camping is prohibited (and locals said nobody would care). But when I arrived there were many campers / motorhomes (not necessarily parked smartly) and there was a lot of rubbish. It was quite busy due to the surrounding bars and I cannot imagine that it’s a quiet place at night. Not my place …

Brilliant to have such an attractive and hassle-free spot in this area. Space for quite a few vans - always reassuring to have a couple of van neighbours. Enjoyed my view over the estuary too.

Stayed Sat Night with no problems at all. We could hear music coming over the water from South Shields, but didn't bother us. There were a lot more vans there than I thought there would be. We would happily stay there again. Great spot.

Wir haben hier eine Nacht, bevor wir auf die Fähre gingen,verbracht. Es war sehr ruhig die Nacht und am Morgen würden wir von einer aufgehenden Sonne begrüßt. Uns hat der Stadtteil auch sehr gefallen.... hätten wir das vorher gewusst, hätten wir auch die vorherige Nacht verbracht. Sehr viele Hunde werden da ausgeführt.

Stayed here last year and so enjoyed it. This year we came back but unfortunately some youths tried to steal our bikes at 20:30hrs. We were not in the home but fortunately some other motorhomers scared them off. BEWARE THIEVES NOW OPERATING HERE.

Lovely spot. Peaceful night sleep.

Our favourite spot right next to the beach, plenty of pubs/bars places to eat within walking distance & 10 minute walk to the town centre, highly recommend

Stayed here 23 08 2021 and several earlier days. Loved this spot. Very quiet, fantastic views, fresh smoked kippers for breakfast and easy walk into town but a few steps so beware. Would be ideal for Metro visit to Newcastle etc

2 excellent nights slightly further down the key, facing the water on Bell Street. NOT car park, but road side. Just enough length for our 5.5m. Free 6pm till 9am, then a further 2 hours for £1.20. A bit further from the toilets.

Amazing place by the sea. no restrictions. fish lorries come and go but no issue. watch the boats come and go in the harbour. even cruise ships coming in looks incredible. public toilet block in the day, drinking water tap outside all time. bins on prom. amazing.

Good for an overnight stop. Nicely next to the beach with a good pub nearby. Factory was slightly loud but nothing we couldn’t deal with.

Worst park up ever. Noisy all night. Never again. I think people were lying when they’ve said it was quiet on here

Still a handy overnight. Good, flat but try and park away from the factory and the fridges going all night. Great chippy.

Stayed here for two nights, spot on place, beach hundred yards, great fish and chips, and watching ships going in and out, would defiantly go again.

A flat roadside parking area right on the riverside. Just me and one other van. Road is also used for lorry trailer parking by the fish processor. Parking was steady all evening with dog walkers and kayakers, but was quiet after dark. There was a slight hum all night from the nearby fish processor, and their forklifts start deliveries past this area early, so if you’re a light sleeper or want to sleep late, you might want to rethink. All and all a great spot. Would stay again.

Excellent spot - thanks to whoever added it as it seems free/overnight parking is hard to come by around here! We spent one quiet, undisturbed night here on the bank holiday weekend. Beach opposite. Interesting to watch the big ships coming into the Tyne. Found a few bars, chip shops in the streets behind, but it’s only a 15 min or so walk into Tynemouth centre. We were treated to the sight of dolphins from the end of the pier!

Nice spot right by the sea. Quite a few campers stay here too, it’s just a stretch of road - once I went and had no problems getting a spot and then another day I went and the full road was and couldn’t park. But if you can get a spot (you usually can) it’s a lovely place, no bother by council or anything like that and a short walk into tynemouth. Lots of food places nearby as well

Great quiet spot. Recommended to us by a man from the council after someone reported us for parking up in our motorhome during lockdown. Have stayed here nearly every night during lockdown so far without any bother. Beach right outside so ideal for dogs too.
