Knowing your caravan is already waiting at Old Hall takes the stress out of planning your break. There’s no need to check the weather, spend hours packing, or tow long distances before you can relax. You can simply arrive, unlock the door, and begin your holiday straight away.
Instead of planning around availability and logistics, you gain the freedom to escape whenever it suits you. Whether it’s a spontaneous sunny weekend, a midweek reset, or a longer summer stay, your base is always there. Trips become easier to plan, more frequent, and far more enjoyable throughout the year.
But what exactly is a seasonal pitch, and why do so many caravan owners find it a better option than booking individual breaks?
A seasonal touring pitch lets you leave your touring caravan on your dedicated spot at Old Hall from March through to January. This means your caravan is ready to use whenever you choose to visit, without the repeated effort of towing, setting up, or packing away.
Seasonal touring sits somewhere between regular short stays and owning a static caravan. It gives you the freedom to come and go as you please , with far less effort than traditional touring, and without the long-term commitment of purchasing a holiday home. For more information on availability and facilities make sure to read more about our park.
Once your caravan is set up for the season, each visit becomes effortless. Utilities are already connected, outdoor areas arranged, and you can add personal touches over time, like seating and planters.
Instead of starting from scratch every time you arrive, you return to a space that feels familiar and settled. Even short stays feel worthwhile because all the usual arrival and departure work has already been taken care of.
Short-stay touring breaks still suit many people, particularly those who enjoy exploring different locations throughout the year.However, for guests who return to the same park several times a year, seasonal touring is often more practical.
With one off bookings, every visit comes with the same routine. Towing, levelling, awning setup, utility connections, then packing it all away again just a few days later.
Keeping your caravan on a touring caravan park Lancashire base like Old Hall removes much of that hassle. Instead of organising each trip from the start, your caravan stays ready throughout the season making it more enjoyable.
For guests taking several trips each year, seasonal touring can be more economical than paying nightly fees repeatedly. Savings also come from reduced fuel costs, less wear on your vehicle, and fewer hours spent towing. Many long-term guests initially chose seasonal pitches for practical reasons, but they soon found the lifestyle benefits became just as valuable as the cost comparison itself.
There’s no requirement to visit frequently. Some seasonal guests visit most weeks, particularly through spring and summer. Others prefer longer but less frequent stays, returning when they want a change of pace rather than following a set pattern.
Because the caravan remains on site, it is available when you need it, whether that is for a long bank holiday, a quiet midweek escape or an unplanned sunny weekend.
That freedom tends to suit retirees, semi-retired couples and anyone looking to make more use of their caravan without turning every trip into a chore.
