Seasonal pitch or touring?
Well I must confess to being rather lazy in the summer months. I love enjoying time spent with friends on the beach, evening bbq's or a quiet night spent gazing at the stars.
With that said I also enjoy touring, meeting new people and finding new places so I came up with a solution which we have done for the last five years that does both.
we now have a seven month seasonal pitch in North Wales by the sea from March to November and tour from November to March. We get our lazy summer days with no panic and the buzz of touring through winter.
In my mind I feel there is a place for both and we get a lot more use from the caravan too. I know most people do one or the other but both is great!

That's just the way to do it, J. When I retired we invested in a static caravan on a small family run site down in Cornwall which we can use for 11 months of the year. A few of the vans are owned by folk who have sold up, live there permanently then go of
to somehwere warm in February when the site's closed. So we've got to now them very well. But we kept our tourer because we wanted to be able to get to other places around the country which we do throughout the year. We know we ae lucky to be able to do this.
It really is the best of both worlds. (Our friends here at home joke about us using the house as a "holiday home" now!)0 -
The site where are seasonal pitch is on has different fields, one for seasonal, one for longer touring, one for weekend tourers and one for campers. It is not a Caravan Club site though but only got planning if the site was set up this way. I was on Rowntree
Park over Christmas and New year and 90% of the time had spare pitches with people cancelling last minute, could this not be the reason popular sites are difficult to book?0
How many sites have seasonal pitches blocking space for tourers. Is that why some sites are difficult to book or are they only
