In this special series of videos at this year’s Caravan and Motorhome Show in Manchester, we discuss what The Caravan Club has in store for 2017.
In this interview, Director of Marketing Harvey Alexander, reveals The Caravan Club’s ongoing site development programme across the country, and their top new UK destinations for year ahead.
Scroll down for The Caravan Club’s official press release:
The Caravan Club has announced its continuing commitment to the development of its network of sites across the UK with plans to spend over £13 million on refurbishments in 2017. This is in addition to the £8.3 million spent in 2016 on improvements and upgrades to ensure its sites continue to offer unparalleled quality and facilities.
Following a hugely successful 2016 the champions of the great outdoors will also be introducing a price freeze for 500,000 pitch nights across its network of sites. A wide range of sites are available across the UK ensuring the best value holidays are on offer.
Highlights of the recent development programme which are now available to book for the 2017 season include:
Freshwater East, Pembrokeshire
Freshwater East Caravan Club site located within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is home to picturesque walks, stunning cliff top views and has sandy beaches a few minutes away. There are also plenty of attractions in the area such as Pembroke and Carew Castles as well as Tenby with its beautiful harbour. For 2017 the site has benefited from the renovation of the site’s reception, the widening of 58 pitches, underfloor heating in the wash rooms and the redevelopment of the children’s play area – making it the ideal choice for families.
A stay at Freshwater East Caravan Club Site in Pembrokeshire based on two adults, two children and a standard touring pitch, costs from £21.90 per night. Camping is also available.
