Hi guys,
We're thinking about putting our 'van on a seasonal pitch and wondered how people find it? Do you get fed up of going to the same place? Are there any drawbacks?
We've found a lovely site we like the look of, it's only 45 minutes from home and is open all year round. As we both work full time it'd be so handy being able to just drive over after work on a friday, open it up & sit down. At the moment the van is in storage a mile from home but it's down a lane which is single track in places which has put us off using it as much as we'd like.

We have a seasonal pitch. Love just going Friday night after work - sometimes we wait till about seven and have our tea before we leave as it's only 45 minutes away. Like not having to do anything when we get there. The security guy on site even plugs our electric in so fridge is cold for when we arrive. Like not having to take awning down or pack everything away on a Sunday. Our site is nice and central and near M5 and there are lots of places to visit so will be quite a while before we get fed up and run out of places to visit. What site are you looking at?

The one we like is near Market Drayton and we're in Burntwood, we have put our name down as there's a list of people waiting but hopefully some will move on after the summer.
We thought that we would maybe site it and then just move it once for our annual Lakes holiday and if we get fed up of the same site we could move it every year or so onto another seasonal pitch.
I understand what Denise says about maintaining it and not knowing who your neighbours will be but we're hoping they'll be like minded and a cheery hello will be fine we just don't want them for dinner every night lol, mind you with 2 gsd's we don't get many visitors!

I think it's a case of just trying it out. We are going to try for a couple of years then either upgrade our caravan and stay there or move to another site but I like where we are.

Bill how often do you get to use the van. I travel to Cornwall roughly once a month and thats an effort I would imagein Bolton to Cornwall regularly is a real drag and not much of a quick get away..

I'd love a seasonal pitch but haven't found a site nearby that i'd want to go back to :( Found lots that are further away that i loved but then they are too far away to get to for a weekend away. I'll keep looking though as i'd love to just pack up the car for a weekend away.
Anyone know of a site with an indoor swimming pool and football pitch within an hour of North Herts let me know lol :)
