What is a touring pitch in camping?

A touring pitch is a designated area within a campground or caravan park specially designed to accommodate touring caravans, motorhomes, or campervans. It typically includes a level and stabilized hardstanding or grass surface for parking the vehicle, along with additional space for setting up an awning, outdoor furniture, and other camping equipment. Touring pitches often provide access to essential facilities such as electrical hookups, water taps, and drainage for wastewater disposal. They are suitable for short-term stays, ranging from a few nights to several weeks, and allow travelers the flexibility to explore different locations while enjoying the comforts of their own mobile accommodation.
