First storing a couple hundred gallons of water, in the sun is not the best idea. You can very easily get thing "growing" in that tank ! Drinking and bathing water need some SERIOUS treatment ! Possibly chlorine or at least ozone and/or ultraviolet.
If you plan on spending a lot of time there, a small structure housing your treatment equipment and typical home jet pump and pressure tank are your best option. I am sure you can find an "off grid" 12V pump.
