I am currently using a tent, but am considering purchasing a caravan.

Ideally, the caravan should be stored on a site and relocated to a pitch (by the campsite/caravan site owner), as and when I intend to use it.

I'm not sure what I should be searching for on this site in the campsite section, is it 'statics' (I thought those were the very large semi permanent units).

The site I'm looking for will not have any 'clubhouse'.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what to search and if in deed I'm expecting too much from a campsite owner.

I was thinking of a fixed storage fee and then perhaps a nightly fee.

Hope to see a response soon as I'm a tad tired of drying my tent out.

You're looking for sites with seasonal pitches, or store and pitch. Many camping and caravanning club sites offer this too. The site listings do show which sites have seasonals, and you can see a list of sites which have included this in their details at http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=239

Hope that helps

I am pretty sure that Bo Peep Farm at Adderbury, near Banbury do what you require. It is a delightful site abd not far from you.

Have a look here

Just be careful on your charges as a lot of sites will charge for siting and restoring your van.

|Good luck.

Perran Springs in Cornwall.
They do exactly what you have described.

Thank you to everyone who has responded.

I now have another problem.... Finding a sesonal pitch 12months within 1 hour drive of Oxford (one with a vacancy). Have tried a few but seemingly have to go on a waiting list. Obviously I can't purchase a caravan without having somewhere to put it.

Any ideas

Inside Park at Blandford Forum in Dorset. Storage is only something like £230 a year. They will tow on/tow off your 'van from storage to pitch, the website has a map and you can choose your pitch.  We are in Glos and it took us 2 hours to get there, you might have a more direct route from Oxford - A34, A303/A30.

the site in denver in norfolk does all that you need but dont know if its to far for you to travel

its west hall caravan park

they do it for quiet a few people ive noticed
