What is a Seasonal Touring Caravan Pitch?

March 6, 2020

Make the most of your caravan with a Seasonal Touring Pitch in beautiful Somerset

If you're new to the world of caravanning you've probably heard other caravan owners talking about seasonal touring pitches. Some people love them, and others aren't so keen. But what is a seasonal touring caravan pitch? And is it something that you should consider? We'll do our best to answer those questions for you here!

Seasonal touring pitches offer a convenient and cost effective way for you to enjoy your caravan without the fuss (or stress) of having to hitch-up and tow, unpack and pack up again, or struggle to make a last minute booking.
Seasonal tourers pay a fixed rate to reserve a specific caravan pitch on a park for the entire season. You can 'set up' your caravan (and awning), leave it on 'your' pitch, and come and go as much as you like for the duration of the season.

Benefits of a Seasonal Touring Pitch

  • Convenience: Continuous towing, packing up, and wrestling with your awning will all be things of the past! Once you've arrived on your seasonal pitch that's all of the hard work done for the whole season! 
  • Flexibility:  Forget the hassle of making last minute bookings or paying inflated rates during the school holidays. When you become a seasonal tourer you can visit your caravan whenever you like. If we have an unexpected sunny spell just jump in your car and go!
  • Cost: Seasonal tourers pay a fixed rate - visit your caravan as often as you like, whenever you like - the rate won't change! Depending on how often you use your caravan, you could save up to 50% on nightly fees throughout the season. Pitch fees on our parks even include storage when the park is closed. 
  • Community Spirit: Our holiday parks tend to attract like-minded people and many of our seasonal tourers return year after year, so there's always a familiar face to ask for a helping-hand or advise on the best places to visit.
So, what's not to love?!
We offer seasonal touring pitches at 6 of our Holiday Parks in beautiful Somerset, and with a choice of adult-only or family-friendly parks, we have options to suit everybody.

Frequently asked questions about Seasonal Touring Pitches

Now that we've explained what a seasonal touring pitch is, here are some of the questions that we get asked most often:

How much is a Seasonal Touring Pitch?

The cost of a seasonal pitch will depend on a number of factors:
• Length of season
• Park facilities
• Park location
• Demand for pitches
Seasonal touring pitches are available at 6 of our holiday parks, so you can get a good idea of rates by browsing our touring parks. Most of our seasonal tourers pay in two instalments.

Once I've paid my fees are there any other costs?

Having paid your pitch fees you will also be responsible for gas and electric. Electric is billed on a meter and gas bottles are available for sale on all of our parks.

Will anyone else use my pitch when I'm not there?

No. Your pitch is reserved for you for the entire season. No-one else will use your pitch.

What happens to my caravan when the park is closed?

Our holiday parks are open from 9 - 12 months of the year. Pitch fees include storage, so when the park is closed your caravan can stay on its pitch. However you may be required to take the awning down.

Can I access my caravan when the park is closed?

No. Visitors are not permitted on-site when the park is closed.

Can I come on part-way through a season?

Yes. We will work out your site fees pro-rata.

Can I stay for more than one season?

Yes. Our seasonal tourers have first refusal on their seasonal pitch. In fact most of our seasonal tourers have been with us for a number of years.
