You might be surprised just what French farmers, rather than English campsite owners, charge!!!



Hmm.I wonder whether those same French farmers will place the 'vans on pitch, put up the awnings, plug in the leccy and sort out the satellite dish too? Oh, and if there's no cover on the 'van, will they also give it a wash before the owners arrive? Would they place the 'van back in storage, after taking down the awning etc? Will they also check the 'vans periodically (unasked) for mice, wasp's nests and other such invasions? You pays yer money, you takes yer choice. :D

Hi, Welcome Back Stu!!!!

My post wasn't meant as a dig at English campsite owners, honestly, and my post actually includes links to very cheap storage which you haven't quoted.

Yes, you're right you get what you pay for.  If people want 'the works' then that's fair enough but personally we don't want to be on one site, or need any of the extras.  We merely want dry indoor storage in central France, where our caravan is out of the British weather for the winter, and we pay a modest amount for that privilege.  We can pick up the van and wash it ourselves in the owner's yard, and tow it to a nearby campsite to load up, then set off in whatever direction we wish.

For those who wish to store on a site, and find the caravan ready to move into, then I'm sure campsite owners provide a service which is second to none.  And I know that your site is a lovely place to store and stay!

No offence taken, Val. Just thought I'd let folks know that not all English campsite owners are there to rip them off, and do actually give a very good, personal service to their storers. We only store a maximum of 6 'vans at any one time, so we don't make bundles of cash from it. I know others that do though, and I've had comments from guests that say it spoiled the site when looking out from their pitch onto rows and rows of 'vans.

That's ok thanks Val, I was looking more in the Normandy area but don't think I'll find anything at that price, even outdoor storage.


We store in Normandy (Argentan) for 220euro under cover! we also insure with Towergate
