Long Stay Caravan Pitches: Are They Worth It? 

Date: 13/10/25

Owning a touring caravan gives you incredible freedom to take off and enjoy a holiday break whenever you want. But for many people, the hassle of towing their caravan across the country and setting it up every time puts them off, and the caravan ends up sitting on their drive, never getting used.

With long stay caravan pitches at Morecambe Lodge, you can set up your caravan at the beginning of March and have it ready and waiting for you, whenever you want a break, right through until the end of October. 

In this guide, we’ll take a look at the benefits of long stay caravan pitches to help you decide if it’s the right holiday set up for you. 

What is a Long Stay Caravan Pitch?

A long stay caravan pitch, sometimes called a seasonal caravan pitch, is a place where you can pitch your caravan for the whole of the season, ready to use anytime you want, without having to transport it and set it up every time. 

A seasonal caravan pitch differs from a standard touring pitch in that you can book it for the whole season, not just one or two weeks. Renting a seasonal caravan pitch differs from owning a static caravan in that you use your own caravan and take it away at the end of the season.

The Pros: Key Benefits of a Seasonal Caravan Pitch

There are lots of benefits to having a seasonal caravan pitch, rather than touring around, dragging your caravan with you everywhere you go. The advantages of long stay caravan pitches include:

• Complete convenience – with your caravan set up and waiting for you, all you have to do is jump in the car and go. This makes it ideal for weekends away after a busy week at work, when you want a break, not a backache. There’s no towing, no traffic, and no setting everything up when you get there. Just arrive and unwind.

• Lower costs across the season – with long stay caravan pitches, the cost per night is far less than paying for each stay individually. Plus, the prices won’t skyrocket during school holidays, so you can take the kids whenever they’re off.

• You know what to expect – booking long stay caravan pitches means you know what will be waiting for you every time, with no nasty surprises. It’s a familiar home from home that you can head off to whenever you like.

• Being part of a community – with long stay caravan pitches, you get to know your neighbours, make great friends and become part of the welcoming Morecambe Lodge community.

• So much to explore – with everything from the Lake District to Blackpool’s Golden Mile, the Yorkshire Dales to historic Lancaster, you’ll need all season to explore everything Morecambe Lodge has to offer.
