Hello all. Starting research into seasonal pitch and want to get an idea of what the fees are in various areas. We are based in Manchester but would be good to get view wider than the north west.
Our situation is slightly complicated in that we would take our new caravan (probably a Hymer but that's a whole different post) off during summer hols as we always relocate to France then. Hoping for reduction as site could book pitch out during this period. Will do ring around of shortlisted sites to check but still wondering does anyone else have seasonal pitch minus 6 weeks holidays.
Thanks

Hiya TTurtle,

someone on a previous thread recommended this site http://www.cassoa.co.uk/search.aspx

it's seems pretty good and gives you the different levels of awards they've been given on how good they are.

Isn't that for storage rather than a seasonal pitch?

We had a seasonal pitch couple of years ago we took ours off to tour around, but every site I rang when looking still charged the full seasonal site fees, if we used it or not..Good luck with your search though..

I think wyreside lakes in Lancashire charge monthly for their seasonals, so could work to your advantage.

Thank you for the replies. Storage site may be of use. Will check out those campsites. Also got a couple on Anglesey in mind. I am expecting around £1200 minus anything I can negotiate for not being there during most of high season. That is if anything at all. Would be interested to hear of anyone else's experiences of seasonal pitch arrangements.

I doubt you'll get a reduction for not being there for the 6 weeks as it's still technically "your" spot whether you're using it or not.

We looked for a seasonal in staffs/shrops & they ranged from £800-2k, funnily enough the £800 was by far the nicest and open 12 months of the year but had no spaces & a long waiting list, we've now done what we consider 2nd best & store it on a C&CC site, it costs £200 from Easter-end october then you pay per night you use it which for us is £12, it works out loads cheaper.

Yes we have to pull it onto the pitch but that literally takes 5 minutes & obviously cant leave an awning up (many seasonals wont let you either) but it's really nice being able to choose a different spot each time & if your neighbours aren't very good then we only have to put up with them for a weekend and not a whole season.

Thanks. That sounds a possibility. Do all C&CC sites do that?
