WoodlandsCamper said:As per Martin's blog it all depends on length and purpose of stay. If using the awning then we go for hard standing, 'cos we're lazy and don't want to clear the awning daily and lift the groundsheet if on grass. We prefer a south facing pitch so the awning can get the rising sun, but back onto a hedge to afford protection from the north.
A serviced pitch is nice for our 'main' holiday, but![]()

not necessary on a short stay. We only use a grass pitch for dry weather periods in order to keep the van clean inside.
The kids have moved away so we site the van away from the play area as it tends to be more peaceful!
All in all we're not fussy.
