Last year on our former seasonal pitch we paid £1600 for March to January, and electricity was surprisingly expensive (£200 for the year). The vans were close together and the shower block quite old

This year we are paying £2300 on a new site, all inclusive, immaculate facilities and very spacious.

You get what you pay for, like so many things in life.

I would have thought a campsite with people coming and going and pitches next to you are statistically a lower risk.

Anyway we found an insurer that gave us a lower premium on a seasonal pitch as they took into consideration that the van won't be towed. I would have thought towing and being on the road is quite a risk. So for us it was cheaper.

Can you tell me what insurer you use.
PS I pay £870 plus elec for the full year. The site is closed during Feb only. It's a lovely little site just outside Girvan in Ayrshire Scotland goes by the name of Queensland Holiday park. There is now a waiting list for seasonal pitches but the owners are extending the park.

Snowy. I think you are right.seems to me that (some)site owners are preferring statics to seasonal tourers. Its a shame as some folk like me don't want to be in a static. I also notice that a lot of seasonal tourer owners just don't look after the caravan or pitch, dirty caravans,stuff everywhere and grass not looked after.
I really like my van and pitch and like to keep them clean and tidy.

Our seasonal pitch is £825 a year, including winter storage and electric. Awnings can be left up. Beautiful site on a working farm. Small shop on site. Also washing machine and drier. Toilets and showers available with new block being built ready for July. Lovely people, very easygoing and so helpful. Near Aberystwyth.
