Store & Stay
The storage we offer is an exclusive ‘store and stay’ facility. Where only guests staying on the campsite can store their caravans and part of the Store and Stay facility accounts for a minimum of 21 days being spent on site in any one year.
No access is allowed to this area by members of the public including the owners of the stored caravans.
We offer a tow out and in service and charge £16 per campsite pitch booking. Where your caravan is towed out to your pre-booked pitch on the campsite and then on your departure it is returned to the safety and security of the storage compound. You should use this facility when you need access to your van for cleaning, servicing or end of season preparation of the van and the relevant nightly pitch will be due.
Stored caravan owners still need to book their pitches in advance online or by email or phone.
We require a minimum of 48 hours notice to move a caravan out of storage.
Visitors phoning to book a pitch and move their caravan will arrive on their pitch with the caravan already sited for them. If you wish for a complete set up please let us know this when booking your pitch so we can allow more time. A normal tow on /off just sites the caravan on the pitch at a cost of £16; a complete set up connects electric, water and waste, legs are put down, the caravan levelled, the wc primed and the heating/lights put on! True luxury – imagine a long drive down and arriving to your own holiday caravan already set up to just sit in and relax. Sound just what you need? To book this extra luxury please add £20 to your booking.
We do this so you don't have to!
