We are looking for a Seasonal Pitch for our 12 month old tourer. We Love Cheshire - Shropshire and the Leek area of the Peak district. We prefer quieter sites near to village/River/lake etc and just wondered if anyone has any ideas? as its very difficult to search on the net and get sensible info!

Regards Tel-Lou

I spent weeks looking for a seasonal pitch, just got one at Henstent.  Beautiful site, good facilities with outstanding views and a river.  They may have one left.  It is 17 miles outside Oswestry.

Also try Glencote in Leek, I know they are full for this year, but will put you on the list.  I looked all over in Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire so I know what a probem you're having.

Price is also is a consideration, some in the region of £2k plus cost of electricity.

Good luck

in Stafford itself. What about you

Many thanks for all your suggestions and advice re Henstent and Glencote - will give  it a go!

Kind regards Tel-Lou

Hope you get on ok.  Both campsites are open all year but Henstent will do seasonal pitches for either six or twelve months.  There is another on in Ashbourne which had vacancies but would only allow one small pet.  I will try and see if I can find it.  Don't know what it's like, we've never been there.  Rivendale just outside Ashbourne also does seasonal pitches but no vacancies at the moment, but you could put your name down.  Very nice, heated shower block and a small pub on site.

Just remembered.  Try Newnes Touring Caravan Park at Ellesmere Shropshire.  Open all year near a canal.  I tried but there we no shower facilities but were building some this year.  Also owner wasn't too impressed with me having a Yorkshire Terrier!!!!!  We were however going to go and see but Henstent came up in the meantime. 

Penny, if you're still interested maybe you also could give it a whiz

Hi Liz, We did try henstent, but I think at the time children were,nt allowed with the seasonals, and sometimes we like to take the grandson with us.

As for Newnes, I don,nt  think hed be very impressed with us having a pyrenean mountain dog LOL.   Penny

Hi Penny

Henstent don't welcome families on seasonals, but he did say some take the grandchildren at weekends etc.  I stayed there last week end on my own and there were children about.

Newnes, I don't think a Pyrenean would pose a problem, just Yorkies.  Had the same problem when trying at Lairhillock, response being "come for a week end before signing up for a seasonal, and see how we get on"  Poor little soul, she is the length of two tins of beans and the height of one.  Oh well!!!

Hi, Sytche caravan site at Much Wenloch is an excellent location,close to the town and also great to walk on wenloch edge.I am sure they have seasonals,use the search facility and put in Much Wenloch.

Good luck wherever you choose
