Proportion of Serviced v Standard Pitches

I saw one on site today. A bargain at a mere £2 😂

To get back to David's OP. I think that 22% service pitches, as at Chatsworth, is about the limit. If you look at awning pitches, the number of available days for July are broadly similar for standard and service. Although for non awning there are many more standard. Particularly in the cooler months, service pitches are often still available when standard are booked, although will eventually sell. Therefore any increase above 22% at less popular sites, where the service pitches won't sell at the last minute, is likely to be counterproductive.

Troutbeck Head has about a third SP

I don't know if they are this year, but when we were there a few years ago in September, quite a few of the service pitches were seasonal. Given the discount on those pitches it would tend to suggest they were struggling to sell them all at that time.

Perhaps some enterprising youngster will offer a "fill your aqua roll and empty your wastemaster, guv. Special price £1.50"

I suspect that if CC Ltd allowed customers to choose the type of pitch they want SP, HS, Grass, etc. the bookings of SP would drop off considerably as most MH's simply don't need them. 

Assuming the "facilities" are clean, of a reasonable standard, and we make use of them, starting with a full fresh water tank and empty waste tank we would be able to go the full 21 days easily; not that we would ever stay that long.  One fill, one dump, and only the cassette to deal with in between - simples.
