Caravan parks

Hi we have a caravan on a caravan park in Barmouth (North Wales).
We are unable to use the caravan, because the caravan park has closed because of COVID19.
Even though the caravan park/sight is closed, The caravan park/sight is still asking for us to pay the ground rent for the caravan park each month.
were do we stand on this do we still have to legally pay?

Is the caravan still there occupying the space?
There are rumours of some form of industry approach to the issue so you might want to check http://www.bhhpa.org.uk/
- All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's
- When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
- "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
- All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's and their rules apply.

I have just answered a very similar question about a static as follows....
Well it is still pitched there and liable to rates I assume, just like a second home would be? Likewise the standing charge on all utilities would continue.
If the monthly figure also includes electricity and gas, rather than them being metered (i know some do / did work like that) then there might be an argument for a bit of a reduction, as the site owner is presumably saving on those?
Otherwise the site is still providing the service and the situation is no more their fault than it is yours.
