hello all, time of the year again whre Pitch hunting is Paramount, as the search is not working sorry if this is a topic elsewhere reading the reviews of vauxhall , pitches are the main talking point, can anyione suggest a sized pitched through experience, (21ft unit ),with the choice of sitting out  two kids 7 and 8, any info , guidance would be great cheers

Hi

If i was you i would avoid the super pitches as they can be not alot of room once you have out awning up and parked the car. The better pitches for space are area pitches on the map 133 to 152 not 153 by the side of the toliet and shower block, pitches 103 t0 128 above the swimming pool. the pitches 1 to 15 are not too bad and the piches 28 to 83 are ok but a long way away from the facilities by the side of a raod that runs to an industrial estate.

I would avoid pitches 155 to 218 are these are varying degrees in size and used majority of the time by tents.

Hope this helps we have been going now for ten years and are going this year as well

cheers

steve

Hi

You should be ok they are of generous size and are designed for caravans as are all the other pitches except 168 to 218 which are tent pitches but are used by both and do vary in size. There is just more room on the first lot of pitches i mentioned for the kids to play around the caravan.

We camp with a 17ft x 14ft frame tent and put a 6ft x 6ft utility tent by the side of it plus car and trailer on pitch and still have room to sit in our recliners.

cheers

Hi there.
Have been told there are pitches available 133 - 152 but I have realised they are hardstanding,and I have a folding camper and need to peg down bed underskirts, so have been told there are pitches 155 - 218 as these are grass. I have been told these are all 30ft sq pitches? Are some of these pitches bigger than others?as I need to peg down bedskirts? Or, could you suggest other pitches?
Regards...

Hi

Avoid pitches 164 to 168 they are the smallest pitches,and pitches 174 to 178 they can become a bit boggy.All the other pitches are roughly the same size.

hope this helps

cheers

steve

Thank Steve

Besides the mention of the piches to avoid...are there any others I could consider?
