Any campsites that have year round storage?

I really want to camp regularly with DC aged 2 and 6 but don't drive. I was wondering if there were any campsites that would store tents (for a fee)? We'd ideally like to go once a month in late spring, summer and early autumn. I'm thinking we could bring sleeping bags with us via public transport then retrieve the tent on site and put it up.

We have camped previously with older DC, unfortunately my DH who drives is often unwell hence the need to shift to public transport. Just wondering if anyone else had managed to make an arrangement like this. TIA for any advice. We're in London so would be travelling on national rail anywhere in the Home Counties, SE coast.

Before we got our camping gear, we stayed at a few sites with pre-erected tents and hireable gear so we could check we liked it.
Palace Farm in Kent www.palacefarm.com/tipis-bell-tents-kent/ has spacious canvas bell tents and you can hire a cook box with small gas cooker and gas, saucepans, plates, cutlery, cooking utensils a kettle etc... The site is 4.5 miles from the nearest station so you could get a taxi or cycle if you don’t mind taking bikes on the train.

Paultons has similar www.paultonscampsite.com/pre-erected-tents and is directly opposite the theme park (with Peppa Pig world!) Use these directions for public transport paultonspark.co.uk/info/directions

If you want a coastal site, then I’d recommend Lepe Beach www.eazycamp.co.uk/campsites/lepe-beach/pre-erected-tents.html

What would you do if your tent came down wet? You can’t store a wet tent.
