New search facility for campsites next to a good pub

The "pitch and pub" application helps caravanners find good pubs

Caravan owners who use pitchup.com to help them find suitable sites for a holiday may have noticed that the website has joined forces with The Good Pub Guide.

The union has created a “pitch and pub” application with which caravanners can choose a campsite based on its proximity to the nearest recommended bar.

It contains The Good Pub Guide’s recommended watering holes, which have been reviewed by readers and visited by at least one member of the editorial team.

Lucky Dip pubs are also listed, however these are generally only recommended by readers and have not been verified by the guide.

A further 50,000 bars are included in the search, while caravan owners are also able to check whether the sites allow campfires or pets.

Pitchup.com managing director Dan Yates explained that having a warm pub nearby is a “key part” of the winter camping experience.

“This new functionality gives users further insight into camping and caravanning locations which, along with the site’s independent user reviews, make Pitchup.com an invaluable research tool,” he said.

Meanwhile, those planning on camping at the Isle of Wight Festival in June can expect to see Doves and Ocean Colour Scene, who were recently added to the line-up.
