Lady caravan
Welcome to CL land.
I can only relate to how some 12 years ago we set up our CL, and how we have improoved it since.
Elecricity, we do have a 3 phase supply to the farm but the cost of putting on site was very high so we when for single phase, and in order to keep the costs as low as possible we aloud 10amp per pitch, this has been found adiquate but today 16amp would be better. We also put in 6 hookups and should have had 8 , this would have aloud the pitches to have been spread out more and the wear on the grass reduced, it does not mean we use all at once. As for metres our CL is open all year and we have some longer stayers in the winter they oftern work in the area leaving wifes in the van all day, as I have said the electric used soon mounts up.
so we plan to use the meters in winter with a reduced pitch cost,and have a all inclusive fee for the summer.
We put our supply in with a mole plough. the boxes came from a supplierwho I cannot recall but my contact was with Sara Holden whos email is
sara.holden@cpes.co.uk Earlier this year we had a 3 way box with meters was quoted £209 plus vat.
Water we also moled that in and put a supply to each pitch, this was not expensive and was a do it yourself job
this facility is well recieved and used by our vistors. we also encourage them to dispose of grey water to the trees on site ,
We have found the Brown water disposal to be very important do not under estimate the volume that is you will need a larger septic tank than a normal house one.
Also general rubish we have 3 bins wich are emptied daily in high season, you can always see how well your vistors are enjoing their stay by the empty bottles we have a box for those.
WE find many are now using email for booking pitches this has caused problems in the past, this could be just me but I always confirm with a phone call.by doing this we have reduced no shows, and over bookings. 5van.com has been a very good internet site for us.
We put on site a small summer house with information on local atractions in it , also a bring and borrow libary this is well used by our visitors.
I hope this is of help
Good luck with your venture we have a lot of fun meeting and makeing new freinds
