Proportion of Serviced v Standard Pitches

Odd thing is that at many CLs they come at no extra cost! 

Not sure that's entirely correct, M. The basic price may well have been incorporated in the cost of installing said SP. We recently stayed on a full SP CL site and the price was more than other non SP sites locally. We didn't actually use the SP aspect at all apart from the Elsan that was provided for every pitch. We stayed there because it was Adult only over Easter and slap bang in the right place that we wanted to be. The alternatives were not to my liking so we coughed up. Interestingly out of the 5 pitches 3 were being used as SPs, the other 2 weren't.

However as a general rule I won't use or pay extra for them on club sites. If they are already on the CL then fine but I don't need them.

Yes, that's probably true - I should have said they come at an inclusive price. I dare say the costs have been factored in somewhere along the line. Having said that, at the two most recent CLs we've used with SPs at £16 and £14 a night respectively it would have been a bit churlish to ask for a reduction for not using the facility!

Old Hartley!  Yes - another good reason for using the facilities in the caravan as it is a stiff climb from the cliff-edge pitches up to the ablutions block.

We always use serviced pitches, partly due to the convenience but also because you are guaranteed a hard standing pitch. We really don't like grass pitches.

I think that it is a bit of a stretch to blame the number of service pitches for low occupancy. From the above comments it seems that the site has many deficiencies that need to be addressed before it becomes popular, or well know, with club members

I should have put Yorkshire East Coast Sites

Have you not stayed on the North Yorks Moors Site, or is the too far from the coast to be included, tda?

I appreciate it does not have Serviced Pitches so really a bit off topic I suppose.
