Seasonal Pitches in The New Forest: Everything You Need to Know

Ever dreamed about having a home away from home in a beautiful location? Well, that’s exactly what a seasonal pitch enables you to do. In this blog, we cover the essentials of what a seasonal pitch is, the benefits, cost, and explore the seasonal pitches available in Hampshire with Camping New Forest.

What is a Seasonal Pitch?

A seasonal pitch with Camping New Forest is a designated spot at one of our 9 beautiful campsites that allows you to keep your caravan or motorhome there for a whole or part season. This means you can visit at your leisure without having to tow and manoeuvre each time.

What Does a Seasonal Pitch Mean?

A seasonal pitch essentially means having a semi-permanent holiday base in a stunning location. Unlike touring pitches, which require setting up and packing down every trip, a seasonal pitch allows you to leave your caravan or motorhome securely on-site for an extended period. This means less hassle, more time to relax, and the freedom to visit whenever it suits you.

With Camping New Forest, seasonal pitches come with access to site facilities (site specific), including electric hook-ups, shower and toilet blocks, and in some locations, extra amenities such as play areas and Wi-Fi.

How Much Does a Seasonal Pitch Cost?

The cost of a seasonal pitch varies depending on the location, facilities, and if you’re staying for a full or part season. Prices generally range from around £800 for part season access with limited facilities to around £4,800 for full season sites with more facilities.

Several factors influence the pricing, including:

  • Facilities included – pitches with electric hook-up, water, and additional services will have higher fees.
  • Season length – Full-season pitches cost more than part-season options.
