I'm looking for a large caravan that will be store and sited on a campsite within an hour of Gloucester, maybe a hobby but must have bathroom , any ideas of the possible sites or opinions on the hobby caravans
Older Hobby tend to rot at floor corners so check that on any you look at. For a large German twin axle LMC or Tabbert are better built than Hobby & more likely to be in better condition if 10yrs old or so. Most of this type of caravan sold in UK will be well used for residential living & can be a bit knocked about inside & out.

Be aware that some sites for some strange reason will not accept Hobby, Tabbert and similar caravans.
I've come across this on too.....where my caravan is stored there is a sign in the office advising that they will not accept Hobby caravans. When I asked the reason I was told that it is because they are popular with the
Travelling community and stand a higher risk of being stolen.
You need to go & look at one to find that out. Most being sold at 10yrs or older have been used for residential all their lives so are often well worn & knocked about. By contrast a 10yr old smaller touring caravan may only have been actually lived in for a year or so.
If body length is over 7mtres they are not legal to be towed by a private vehicle only a commercial over 3.5tonnes gvw so not suitable as a tourer. & demand for site caravans of that age will be quite small.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
