Hi

I am looking for storage near Calne (which is just by Chippenham).  Can anyone help me with any ideas?

Thanks

Try Blackland Lakes and Leisure in Calne, I think they're listed in the camp site search and know they do storage.

Try Blacklands Lakes and Leisure in Clane.  They're listed on the site search and I know they do caravan storage, I've no idea of prices though.

Hi

Chippenham is not too far.  Was wondering what the storage facility is like?  Is it worth travelling a longer distance for a Cassoa site?

When I enquired about the storage site in Chippenham past the Hungry Horse, a few years ago, they told me that they put the vans so close together that they pulled them in and out for you, so you needed to pre book when you wanted to come to the van, and you couldn't just turn up and do something in the van as you wouldn't be able to get into it!

I wasn't at all happy with that, as it wasn't clear what would happen if they damaged your van whilst moving it. Also I just didn't like the idea of the vans being stored so close together, if they ever have a fire it will spread really quickly.

It may have changed as this was about 4 years ago, so it is probably worth ringing them to check.

We ended up storing our van on a farm site near to Melksham. It's very cheap, and so far we've never had any problems.

What about Fairfields at Semington, between Melksham and Trowbridge?

It's CASSOA silver and I can highly recommend it

Hi Weavers..looked at Fairfields but it is £300 pounds a year and was wondering if there was anything a little cheaper....is this the kind of price we will pay?  Is it worth the money?

Hi SolisGazer,

I think to a certain extent you get what you pay for. When we were looking I felt you paid a premium for a Cassoa site, but then some insurance company's seem to give a bit of a discount for using one.

From memory there was a storage place at Hullavington airfield that offered indoor caravan storage, but I think it was about £600 per year!

We store our van on storage site on a farm. We pay £120 a year, it's fenced in and has a locked gate. We've been there nearly 4 years and have never had any problems, so far.

I guess I'd suggest you go and visit a few and get a feel for how they are run and ease of accessability, security, etc.

It might be worth ringing the council to ask if they have a list of caravan storage sites as I think they have to be registered, and I think some of them don't need to to advertise, the one we are at always seems to be full, I think they get all their business through word of mouth.

There's a place on the Lyneham side of W. Bassett - also Burtonhill Caravan Pk in Malmesbury.

Probably too far away but theres a place just starting up in Longcot (5m NE of Swindon) and there's always spaces in the site in Cricklade.

There's also a small yard just off J15 M4 between the junction and Wroughton. (smaller vans only) Mind you - theres a Pikey site within 1 mile of this yard.

 

Give Swindon Caravans a ring - they usually advertise storage sites on their small ads board.
