I think storage averages at £1 a night. Our site charges £6 per week. I have noticed that a lot of sites want you to contact them for charges. Perhaps spaces are limited.

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

I think storage costs vary depending on the level of demand. Where I live it is virtually impossible to get storage therefore, the sites which do it can charge a premium and have long waiting lists. We are lucky and currently have storage in a caravan storage compound which as far as I have been able to find, is the cheapest in the area but it still costs us £39 a month. We would like to move to one nearer where we live but the next cheapest one we could find in our area has a massive waiting list and costs £10.50 a week. The only one nearer to us that still had space had one space left when we went to see them a few weeks ago and charged a whopping £18 a week. I’d love a store and stay site within 30 minutes of home but have never found one!

Ours is over £500.00 a yr. Lots of newish estates with covenants ensure all local storage providers can charge a premium.
If I could find a storage and seasonal close by, I might consider it.. just not sure how much more it would cost.

We have used three options.
When we first got our caravan we simply parked it on the road next to our house (we live on a corner so parked it in the side road) I put a cable over the roof of the caravan so it had an electric hook up and people could walk under that cable easily.
We then used a person who had three 'vans stored in her garden, it cost £50 per quarter but was not ideal as she offered no security etc
I then altered our driveway and we now store the caravan at home. I've fitted gates which I lock so insurance like it. Electric hook up to keep stuff from freezing over the winter and the cost is very little,
Keeping it at home seems to me to be the best option.

We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.

We are lucky enough to have a large car park for our 6 houses so keep it there, now with the added security of a barrier, as all and sundry were using the car park at night.

I agree that storing at home is the cheapest option, not sure about the best though.
If people get used to there being a caravan outside your house they may also notice that one week its gone, they know the owners aren't home and likely wont be for a while.
Just saying.

Our van is stored between house and garage, and is behind tall, locked gates. Not visible from road, so only local residents or people in passing cars are aware of our departure if they happen to be around at the time. Even then, unless they hang around, they cannot be sure if we are leaving or returning.
