Having trawled through many camp site adverts I feel that a lot of sites don't advertise the fact that they do seasonal pitches or not.
We intend to site our 6 berth this year to try and keep from towing it too much (because of the size) but are struggling to find seasonal pitch sites.
Any ideas, telephone nos or websites we can visit to try and get a seasonal pitch within an hour of Sheffield?
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Rather than pay for a seaonal if your use is not going to justify the cost is what we used to do, store the van on a site then just pull it out when using.
That's what we have done for the last 18 months but we are now seasonal until october 31st. Afraid it is often word of mouth, suss out the area you want to go to and knock on their doors.
depends what you are looking for there is a site called fangfoss old station caravan park near pocklington takes us 45 mins from doncaster we season pitch there from 1st march -31st october i think it is £1025 for season then we leave it there at winter for £30 month.we love it there is a little park,shop just essentials this will be us third season there and we have four kids and two dogs there is a dog walk through the gate on the site,we have made some nice friends up there and we go most weekends and most school holidays lovely peaceful site with lots of things to do close by .
There are a lot of websites out there for Parks to advertise on, they all have so many symbols that you can tick - toilets, showers, pets welcome - the list goes on & on, but very few at the moment let you put Seasonal pitches & Wifi as facilities you have. Although Wifi is now appearing on more and more but Seasonal - very rarely. Im afraid its a matter of trailing through the sites and often phoning everyone. We have just had 1 seasonal pitch come up but im afraid we are in Somerset - bit too far i would think for you based in Sheffield - best of luck finding a pitch.
also alot of sites dont advertise as they have very long waiting lists, this year i emailed 250 different site and most had no vacancies this year and i would have to go on waiting lists, the couple that did have vacancies either wouldnt accept dogs or they wouldnt accept vans over 10 years old both were no use to me.
