We had booked a touring pitch and a tent pitch at Cayton Village, Scarborough for May half term.  A chance to get away with the family for the first time in ages.  Got a call from the site Manager this morning to say that the tent pitches weren't going to be available this year! We are now frantically looking for an alternative club site or buy/rent a huge awning (Size 15)!! Any suggestions?

Each camping hook up pitch has its own loo and bathroom.

Back in from dog walk, various interruptions and dinner. 

That's the one,  I wanted to write cat or cow seemed to be in the name., thanks takethedogalong.

I do hope that it might be useful, but didn't know about limited size for 'Van's. Hopefully the OP will check back and let us know how they get on.

Thanks ABM, it was WATO, I knew it had a woman interviewer, The Today programme had 2 lady presenters yesterday and You and Yours was too, taking over the world! πŸ€£πŸ˜±πŸ™ˆπŸ€

Can i suggest when the sites reopen on Monday you contact the site staff at Bridlington club site and explain what has happened ,with your booked tent pitch at Cayton Village  ,they have most  tent pitches vacant and some  caravan pitches vacant in May, just a suggestion as "it pays to talk"surprised

Would it be too expensive to have one of the new hire static units at Cayton Bay?

Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas. All sites in the area are booked up as it's half term and the first school hols after the easing of lockdown.  Our plan is now to keep our caravan pitch booking and buy a new full awning so the family can sleep in that!

 What dunelm didn't quite make clear is NO caravans or motor homes at all and camper vans only under 4.9m. Looks a lovely site for the camping fraternity though. smile

Sorry for not making it clear!

John and Mary. Thanks for coming back, sounds like the easiest (though pricey) solution at such a busy time. Hope you all have a good holiday! smile

What size awning do you need?  as we have a full 925cm Ventura (isabella) with IXL frame for sale  used twice for 21nights at Hillhead when when Grandchildren came ,before they had their own tents

Thanks for all the advice! We need an awning size 15 (1005 cm). Busy looking at the moment. We know it's an expensive solution but our grandsons are so looking forward to the holiday it will be worth it. We can always sell it on afterwards!

I don’t know if you can still get them, but at one time you could awnings with bedroom type extensions, so camp beds could be left out in the day, the rest of the awning used for daily living. Somewhere like Towsure or CCC might do something, they had a huge selection of awnings in when we called last year. Not sure where you live, but Sheffield has a big Towsure.

Yes you can still get them, they replace and zip into one of the doors.

Another way round, which we did once, is to get a small pop up tent and have that up inside the awning. You do lose some space but it achieves the same result.
