Seasonal Pitches
Searching for caravan seasonal pitches on the internet I have found is a hit and miss affair. Having spent weeks and weeks of searching the internet on an evening trying to find the best caravan seasonal pitches which has all of the requirements that me and my family require.
One of the main things that I have found difficult, is trying to find a site that will either be open all year round, or caravan sites that will also store your caravan during the off season months to again save on the required travelling with your caravan.
Out of all the camping and caravanning sites which do seem to open all year, most seem to split their seasons into two, summer and winter. The summer season mainly appears to be between the months of March until October, whilst the winter season is the remaining months of November through until February.
When you try to find caravan seasonal pitches, make sure that the price they quote you, covers all of the costs necessary for the season or year.
For example, I have been very recently quoted £1800 for a 12 month all year seasonal pitch, but I have to pay for electricity at additional cost. Some charge for extra people and cars, so ensure you check the fine print.
If you have an awning for your caravan, does the caravan seasonal pitch arrangement allow you to leave it up in you absence? Obviously it would be easier if they did, so you would not have to bother with putting it up when you arrived for a weekend break. You might, however, like to remove it in the winter months when you are not there. UK winter weather can get quite stormy and the last thing you would like to find is your awning in tatters.
In summary, really good caravan seasonal pitches are there to be found it you look hard enough. You may find though, that even if the camp site does not advertise that they have seasonal pitches, get in touch with them, and on most occaisions, a deal can be done.
