Our seasonal pitch plus winter storage came to £1,950 for next year in South Devon.  The season is short, mid March to the end of October.  Most pitches are hardstandings but there is nothing on site other than a laundry and showers/toilets.

We don't have to pay anything on top of that for electric or per night occupancy.  It is about the going rate in South Devon which seems to be mega expensive for seasonal pitches.  More and more sites are shutting their seasonal sections and installing statics or log cabins so most places have long waiting lists too.

It won't happen, planning don't seem to sanction too many new sites and lets face it we are a small island with limited space so you can't blame them.  If more money can be made from log cabins and statics then site owners are going to go down that avenue I guess.

I'd like the season to be much longer, I don't see why I have to walk away from my van for 4 1/2 months of the year, sigh.

This one in Essex does seasonals pitches and charges £1275 from March to end of October and £255 for indoor winter storage, mainly grass pitches, clean loos and showers and two mins walk from a beach, pretty much a quiet site, quite pleasant.

I had a seasonal pitch last year and paid £950 plus electric at the end of the season which was on a separate meter and totalled £43 for the 7 months.

The only problem was that it worked out expensive as I didn't use it enough to break even on the per night price.

I don't think I would have another seasonal pitch until I knew I would get my money's worth.

Wyton lakes in Huntingdon Cambs.

As I said I felt I didn't get good value due to not using it enough.
