The plans for the redevelopment of Cayton Village site have been submitted to Scarborough Council (19/01463/FL) 

Cayton Village Caravan And Motorhome Club Site Mill Lane Cayton Scarborough YO113NN
Proposal Reconfiguration of existing site to provide 207 caravan and motorhome pitches, 12 glamping pods and 12 tent pitches with 2 no. toilet blocks, additional warden compounds, garage and store, 2no. water booster systems and play area. Associated alterations to site roads, landscaping, car parking and site security barriers.

No storage which is a disappointment, other than that I'm looking forward to visiting, but when?

But more interestingly it does say a non awning campervan area!

Just as interestingly it does mention two area for tents.

Do you think that we will probably see non awning campervan pitches at a lower price?

that will be interesting to watch out for, it may indeed happen but what would be the rationale, non awning pitches are the same price now so why charge less? Unless they are considerably smaller and/or to capture the 'campervan market' - is there one?

Another re-brand The caravan, campervan and motorhome club? CCAMC?

Well we were promised a new booking experience, whether it included changes to the pricing structure is anyones guess. Only the Club knows and they are unlikely to communicate anything to members until all the ITs are dotted and crossed. wink

l thought we were all on holiday or taking a short break, l always take the road, nice leisurely morning walk to the block. The only exception was early this year when l had just finished Brachytherapy and Radiotherapy, needing the toilet urgently so we booked a pitch near the blocks, now back to normal and enjoy my early morning walk. No one should walk across someones pitch its like walking through someone's property.

We hear much of the grass fingers between pitches - "no mans land". If short cuts are required, these would not impinge on a user's pitch. Are we making mountains out of molehills here? Personally, it helps towards my 10,000 steps, a target I infrequently reach.

When I put the information on the forum I did so because there has been much speculation about the redevelopment and when it would take place.

I actually thought members would be happy that the changes were in hand and getting a superb site, catering for all needs and broadening our church to include non caravanners, many of whom are unable to tow due to driving licence restrictions. The site has amazing public transport link both north and south.

Incidentally, neither the local parish council or highways raised any objections, which in the case of the parish council is encouraging when the C&MC withdrew its support of Cayton in Bloom.

Instead all members seem to concerned about is getting to the toilet block the shortest way, its true the planners dropped a clanger at Bridlington from the lower section, now rectified. Crossing someones pith for what ever reason is rank bad manners.

the club already has 'economy pitches' but not currently in amongst 'normal' full priced awning/non-awning pitches and more expensive service pitches.

i don't see why a new development couldn't have pitches that span a price range, based on the service offering.

if SPs cost £3.90 more than 'std' pitches for a tap and a grey waste point, why can't an 'economy' pitch be sold at a reduced price if it were (say) non EHU and smaller.

as pointed out before, CCC offers the opportunity for customers to take this type of cheaper pitch amongst its other full priced pitches.

a 'new booking experience' may refer to the actual booking process or to the range of products on offer, we will have to wait and see.

certainly, there is a shift in the MH market with the huge rise in campervan/PVC sales and astute touring providers will have noticed this and be looking at their offering and deciding if it is what this burgeoning market requires.

watch this space, perhaps?

If I was a campervan owner and was offered a small pitch or a larger pitch at the same price why would I choose the smaller one?

The NEC show will soon be here and the Club always like to unveil a new initiative so probably not long to wait.

you wouldn't, which is why, currently, many choose an awning pitch over a non-awning as there is the perception that they are larger, and you generally get more choice.

In my post, I suggested the economy pitches (perhaps smaller, perhaps non-EHU) would be at a reduced price.

if these were £5-£8 cheaper they might be attractive, especially as small vans (even like ours) have loads of space on a normal pitch, mainly due to the fact we don't have an awning or a car or a pup tent or other extraneous kit.

weve certainly had one or two nights on pretty small pitches and not felt crowded, mainly because, when touring, we aren't looking to spend loads of time sitting around...

now, a destination site is different, I want lots of room, services, sunshine.....different times/places, different requirements.
