Finding caravan seasonal pitches on the web can be a very much hit and miss affair. I have literally have spent weeks of surfing the net on an evening trying to find caravan seasonal pitches which ticks all the boxes of requirements for me and my family.

One of the main things that I have found difficult, is trying to find a site that will either be open all year round, or caravan sites that will also store your caravan during the off season months to again save on the required travelling with your caravan.

Out of all the camping and caravanning sites which do seem to open all year, most seem to split their seasons into two, summer and winter. The summer season appears to be mainly between the months of March through until October, whereas the winter season is that of November through until the end of February.

When you try to find caravan seasonal pitches, make sure that the price they quote you, covers all of the costs necessary for the season or year.
For example, I have been very recently quoted £1800 for a 12 month all year seasonal pitch, but I have to pay for electricity at additional cost. Some camp sites charge additional fees for extra people and cars, so make sure you check the fine print.

If you, like me, have an awning for your caravan, does the camp site have an arrangement which allows you to leave it up even if you are not there? It would obviously be easier if they did, this way, you wouldn't have to go to the trouble with putting it up when you arrived for a short weekend break. You might, however, like to remove it in the winter months when you are not there. UK winter weather can get quite stormy and the last thing you would like to find is your awning in tatters.

In summary, really good caravan seasonal pitches are there to be found it you look hard enough. Even if the caravan sites do not advertise seasonal pitches, give them a call and 9 times out of 10 a deal can be done.
