Touring caravans, motorhomes and campervans
What does caravan storage cost?
Storage is priced by the metre and by the postcode, so the same caravan can cost wildly different amounts to store ten miles apart. Six things move the number: outdoor, covered or indoor; how secure the site is; where it is; how long your van is; when you can get in; and whether you pay monthly or annually. Tell us what you have and storage sites near you will quote you directly.
The process
- Tell us what you are storing, how long it is and what kind of pitch you want. Two minutes, no account.
- We pass your details to caravan and motorhome storage sites covering your postcode, and to no one else.
- They come back with their actual price and availability. Compare, choose, or walk away.
Caravan Storage Prices is a free introduction service operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd; we pass your details to caravan and motorhome storage sites who contact you directly. We may receive a fee from providers; you pay nothing and are under no obligation. This is an independent guide, not affiliated with or endorsed by Cassoa, and we do not operate storage sites. Nothing here is insurance advice and we recommend no policy, insurer or product: how storage affects your cover is a question for your own insurer. Statements about the Cassoa scheme were read from cassoa.co.uk on 14 August 2026. We publish no prices because storage is priced per site and varies too widely for a national figure to be honest.
What sets the price of caravan and motorhome storage
Last updated
Six drivers explain almost every price difference between two sites. Work down them in order and you will know within a few minutes why one quote is half the price of another, and whether that difference is worth having.
No prices appear in this table. Caravan storage is priced per site and varies enormously by region, demand, pitch type, unit length and contract term, and there is no published UK dataset of storage prices we could honestly average. So we set out what moves the price and get you real quotes for your postcode instead. Statements about Cassoa are as published on cassoa.co.uk and were read on 14 August 2026.
| Driver | What it does to the price | What to ask the site |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor, covered or indoor | The biggest single step. Outdoor hardstanding is the base, a covered canopy costs more, and an indoor bay inside a building costs most of all | Whether covered means a canopy or a closed building, and what the surface is |
| Security level | Fencing, gates, barriers, CCTV, alarms, lighting and staffing all cost the operator money and all show up in the pitch price | Whether the site is accredited, and to what grade |
| Location and demand | Land value and local competition dominate. Sites near large towns and near popular touring regions fill up and price accordingly | Whether there is a waiting list, which tells you more than the price does |
| Unit length | Almost every site prices by length band, because they are selling square metres. A 7 metre motorhome takes more space than a 5 metre caravan | The exact length bands, and which one your van falls into |
| Access hours | Sites with staffed or restricted hours can run cheaper. Sites with 24 hour or automated access charge for the convenience | The actual access hours, including bank holidays and out of season |
| Contract term and payment | Annual contracts are usually better value per month than rolling monthly. Winter-only pitches are seasonal and often the cheapest way in | What happens if you sell the van or leave early, and whether any refund applies |
| Extras on site | Motor movers fitted, service and habitation checks, valeting, water and waste facilities, and battery charging are sometimes bundled and sometimes charged | What is included in the pitch price and what is a separate charge |
- Caravan and motorhome storage is priced per site, and the main drivers are pitch type, security level, location and demand, unit length, access hours and the contract term.
- Cassoa states that it is the UK accreditation scheme for secure caravan and motorhome storage, that it offers three levels of accreditation for site operators, Silver, Gold and Platinum, and that accreditation is based on a mandatory survey required every three to five years.
- Cassoa states that its awards are based on a variety of security elements including CCTV, perimeter protection and alarm systems, and that the more points a site accrues, the higher the accreditation.

Each one cites where its numbers come from.
How much does caravan storage cost, and why we do not print a number
Caravan storage costs vary hugely by region, pitch type and length. What genuinely drives the price, what to ask, and how to compare two quotes properly.
Indoor, covered or outdoor caravan storage: what you get for the money
Outdoor hardstanding, covered canopy and indoor bays are three different products at three different prices. What each protects against and who should pay for it.
Secure caravan storage: what the Cassoa grades mean, and what to look for
Cassoa accredits UK caravan and motorhome storage sites at Silver, Gold and Platinum. What the grading assesses, and the questions to ask on a site visit.
Motorhome storage: what is different from storing a caravan
Motorhome storage is priced by length like caravan storage, but engine, battery, height and access needs change what to ask for. What matters for a driveable van.
The questions we get
How much does caravan storage cost in the UK?
There is no reliable national figure, because storage is priced per site and driven by region and demand, pitch type, security level, unit length, access hours and the contract term. The useful move is getting two or three quotes for your postcode and your length band and comparing them line by line.
What is the cheapest way to store a caravan?
Usually an outdoor pitch on an accredited site slightly further from town, on an annual or winter-only contract. Widening your search by ten or fifteen miles often changes the price far more than negotiating does, because local sites near large towns fill up and full sites do not discount.
What does Cassoa accreditation mean?
Cassoa states it is the UK accreditation scheme for secure caravan and motorhome storage, that it offers three accreditation levels for site operators, Silver, Gold and Platinum, and that awards are based on a points matrix covering security elements including CCTV, perimeter protection and alarm systems. Accreditation rests on a mandatory survey required every three to five years.
Do I need to tell my insurer where my caravan is stored?
Insurers often ask where a caravan or motorhome is kept, so the safe answer is to ask yours directly before you book a pitch, and again if you move sites. Cassoa states its accreditation is recognised by insurers with discounts available, but what applies to your policy is between you and your insurer. We do not give insurance advice.
Is indoor caravan storage better than outdoor?
It protects better from rain, UV, tree sap and casual interference, and it costs more. It is also often the hardest to get the van out of at short notice. For a van used regularly through the season, a secure outdoor pitch on hardstanding is what most owners sensibly choose.
Is this quote service really free?
Yes, free to you, with no obligation to take any pitch. We pass your details only to caravan and motorhome storage sites covering your area; we may receive a fee from those providers, which is how the service is funded.
