The Super Plus Pitch CL Site

Why is this CL a super plus site? 1 - Pitch facilities: Absolutely flat hard standing, own water supply, own waste (grey) water drain, metered electricty supply (pre-pay card) 2 - If you do not have extended water supply pipe and float/ball valve kit for Aquaroll, or extended waset pipe for grey water, then these are supplied within the pitch fee! 3 - Communal facilities: Toilet cassette emptying, dustbins, recycling etc, Picnic area 4 - Price: I will spend some time on this as I think some pricing detail is warranted - Price is incredible value for money for a fully service pitch. Let's take a look at a few facts. Compare fully serviced pitch at CC Littlehampton site in July; 2 x adults with service pitch gives total of £150.50 or £21.50 per day with electricty included. Keal Lodge 2 x adults and pitch £15 plus electricity. Using the Littlehampton example I could spend up to £6.50 per day on electricty! - Practical example for week 30 May 2013 - 6 June 2013, Electricty usage; water heater 24/7, fridge 24/7, leisure battery charger 24/7, room hot air heater 500 watt setting 12 - 14 hours/day, 500 watt oil filled radiator in end washroom 12 - 14 hours/day, thermostats used to maintain room temp at 21 degree C in evening except after midnight when maintained at 17 degree C. Cooking via Microwave for 2 nights, 4 nights eating out. TV, fan blower and lighting all run from 12 volt battery. Total electricity bill for week £18 gives average of £2.57/day. Add to £15 gives £17.57 day pitch fee. Total for week £123 saving me £27.50 Of course you may wish to use more electricity, some folk like to heat their awning in the evenings, some folk will eat in every evening but on my practical example you can safely double your electricity consumption before you equal the Littlehampton service pitch fee, triple it if you use high season Littelhampton fees! During my recent visist to Keal Lodge I did read in the site visitors book a complaint about there being no toilet block despite the fact the brochure and web site details clearly state no toilet or shower block exists, so I did not really understand the complaint. To be fair, I recognise that some folk who like to use a fully serviced CC pitch also like to avail themselves of a toilet block - but such facilities are not a feature of this site and, given that we always use our own washroom facilities, the addition of a toilet block would add no value for me. I would rather save the money on the pitch fees! Having spent some time on the value for money of Keal Lodge, I would support all the other positive reviews. So if you have never tried a fully serviced pitch and don't have the kit then Keal Lodge is a great place to give it a try, remember that all the kit you will need is supplied within the daily pitch fee. My wife and I only stay on serviced pitch sites and so have some extensive experience on the variable qualities out there. Keal Lodge is up there with the very best on quality so keeping it on our regularly visit list.
