Environmental friendliness and a focus towards catering for families with young children are among the aims of a new £2 million caravan park to be built in County Durham.
The Teeside Mercury reports that 76 touring pitches will be present on the Caravan Club site near Startforth, which covers eight acres of land.
Among the additional features that will greet visitors are a children's play area, toddler facilities, a laundry area and a toilet block.
The block will also feature underfloor heating, while rainwater will be recovered to be used to flush toilets a solar pre-heating will provide hot water.
A spokesperson for the Caravan Club told the publication: "The club always favours the opportunity to develop a site 'from scratch' on either greenfield or brownfield land.
"This approach enables perfect planning to the high standards and specifications that members rightly expect."
Enjoying a caravan holiday is one of the most eco-friendly ways to experience a break as they give off only a fraction of the gases created by air travel.
