Private Hot Tub

My partner & I want a caravan pitch which has a hot tub on the pitch for our use only (not shared with other pitches). 

Does anyone know of a site which offers this facility?

Comment from the Club

We have a couple of Certificated Locations (CLs) that are exclusive to our members to book that have hot tubs on site. 

Ghyll House Farm (Hot tub and holistic beauty and hairdresser on site). Quote from a review for this site; 

"We used the hot tub facility that they have on site and it was amazing. Margaret had lit lots of candles in the room for us and hung up bathrobes for us all and supplied us with a jug of cold water and some glasses. The attention to detail and those little touches were amazing. Didn't want to leave could have stayed there forever."

Griffon Barn Paddock View (book an hours slot for the Swim Spa/Jacuzzi)

We hope this helps. smile

    With all due respect, April has just ended. Glamping sites with pods and the like maybe but tourers, never! Well in my experience but if there are any out there I’d stay well away on H&S grounds alone!

    We were on an Independent site a few years ago in February, bitterly cold and there were people partaking of the pitches with Hot Tubs on them.

    Funnily enough when typing this out "Predictive" text changed my misspelling of Independent to Indecent. surprisedlaughing Make of that what you will.

    I did leave a review on UKcamping website.

    Because people with experience of the sites and/or the hot tubs are able to give you a review.

    Most requests for info and advice asked for on here could be found elsewhere. What exactly was your post for EuroT?

    I just can’t imagine those proper caravan touring sites where you can stay for one or two nights having the capacity to maintain hot tub hygiene H&S. A friend of ours worked on a private site with pods and lodges with hot tubs but you had to stay in these for a minimum of three nights. Cleaning them after each use was time consuming for the staff and not without the peril of finding unmentionable items in the systems, apparently. Yuk!

    As others have said such things are usually the preserve of static accommodation rather than touring pitches. I did see them alongside  holiday homes on the Lady's Miles campsite at Dawlish last year when we stayed. If you find one you might want to check it's not on metered electricitysurprised

    Thank you for the information.

    Does anyone else know of any other sites that offer pitches with a private hot tub on the pitch?

    You can find most things on Google. I think the reason people ask on here those same questions that can be googled is that they seek personal experience of other members not just a cold internet search. Obviously hot tubs don't feature highly amongst the membership that contributes to Club Togetherwink I noticed some of those in the search I did were wood fired so the OP would have to be prepared for that type of operation.

    Not on a pitch, but we used a lovely CL that had both a spa pool (hot tub) and a very nice swimming pool. We had both the pool and the spa to ourselves. Not free, I think it was £3 each, but you could stay in as long as you wanted, free showers and loos as well. Lovely CL, Venndown Farm near Tintagel. Pool and spa were under cover, but pool did have a retractable roof. It was late October when we were there.

    You would be far safer using something like this, as the chlorine dosing will be better controlled. Hot tubs/spa pools need careful monitoring as they are often run at higher temperatures.

    You could buy an inflatable hot tub as someone near us at home has done. I'm waiting for it to spring a leak but that's another story! wink

    I agree with TDAs comments about the maintenance.

    https://campsites.co.uk has listed 13 sites with hot tubs and Bargoed Farm in Wales has some h/s pitches with a hot tub on a bit pricey I think £46.00 to £49.00 per night.

    Some of our neighbours got one last year Brue, around £5-600 I think. Next door has sold their’s now, it was hardly used. Took all night to heat up from cold. No leaks as far as I know.

    Some might recall our £37 inflatable pool from Aldi. Brilliant as far as we were concerned. Solar heated as well, water re used on garden as chemical free. You would need to negotiate with site owner about filling it though, especially if on a meter😁
