Hi Everyone,
After our 2nd season with our touring van we are considering (but can't decide yet) looking for a seasonal pitch for next season, i.e from March 2013. Can anyone recommend a site in Hampshire or East Dorset that has seasonal pitches? We have searched on here but its always good to have some other comments and personal views. We need somewhere with EHU and that also will store the van during the closed season as we can't keep it at home
Our reasons for looking at this is that we love the van but with a 18 month old find getting away for weekends a bit stressful nightmare (the van is kept in storage and we can't keep it at home) so tend to only go away for a week at the time at the moment. This year we will be spending around £800 in site fees plus another £400 for storage. Adding in fuel this compares about the same to a seasonal around £1500 per year and if its within 1hr-1.5hr from home I think we would make more use of it for weekend breaks. Also as the OH doesn't tow she could pop down there the weekends I am working again making more of the van. With the van set up on a site it would be easy to go direct from work on a Friday and spend a weekend away....well thats what we are thinking
We have contacted a few just outside the new forest (Wimbourne / Ringwood area) and hope to go and look at them in a couple of weeks.
We are tempted to try it for one season and thought we could still take the van off for a few weeks somewhere else if we got really bored!!
Would welcome any advice from people who have a seasonal pitch on what to look for when viewing sites!
Cheers
Darren
