Devon has two coasts, the surf beaches and cliffs of the north and the estuaries and coves of the south, with Dartmoor in the middle and Exmoor on the border with Somerset. Add Exeter, Plymouth and the Torbay resorts, and it’s a great county to tour in a campervan. For overnight parking, it depends where you are. North Devon, Torridge and South Hams councils, and East Devon in Exmouth, let motorhomes stay the night in some of their car parks for a fee. Torbay, Teignbridge, Exeter, Plymouth and West Devon don’t allow sleeping in their car parks at all, and Dartmoor’s byelaws ban camping in a vehicle on the moor. Plan your nights on campsites or in the council stopovers.
Book well ahead for the summer school holidays.
Where you can and can’t stay overnight
There’s no general law in England against sleeping in a van that’s legally parked on a public road, but local rules are common and you have to read the signs. Car-park orders, traffic orders and public spaces protection orders can all ban it; since 26 October 2026 councils can set the fixed penalty for breaking a public spaces protection order at up to £500. A council can also direct people living in a vehicle on a roadside or other land to leave; ignoring the direction, or coming back within three months, can mean a fine of up to £1,000. There’s no right to wild camp in a vehicle anywhere in England: you need the landowner’s permission. More in wild camping and free camping.
Devon County Council asks motorhome owners to use campsites, or the overnight car parks run by the district councils, rather than the roadside. Its orders ban motor caravans on some streets where residents have complained:
- Exmouth: Queen’s Drive at any time, and Imperial Road, Maer Road and the eastern spur of Queen’s Drive from 8pm to 8am.
- Dartmouth: North Embankment and South Embankment from 6pm to 9am.
The county council counts any vehicle with permanently installed living equipment as a motor caravan, so a converted campervan is covered. If you do stop on a road, park wholly within the space, don’t put chairs, tables or barbecues out, don’t empty waste into the drains, and at night park facing the direction of traffic, with your parking lights on if the limit is over 30 mph.
Council by council:
- North Devon Council: self-contained motorhomes with a built-in toilet can stay overnight in three car parks, in Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and Lynton (see the table below). It’s £16 a night (cash, card or RingGo), for up to two nights in a row with no return within 48 hours. Vans can be up to 8 m long and must park 6 m apart. The council’s other car parks in Lynton and Lynmouth don’t allow sleeping.
- Torridge District Council: overnight parking, any time from 6pm to 8am, is allowed in five car parks, in Bideford, Westward Ho!, Appledore, Holsworthy and Torrington. You pay £12 a night (£15 in Appledore) for each bay you use, for up to two nights. No barbecues or fires, awnings, or tables and chairs outside.
- South Hams District Council: self-contained motorhomes (with an on-board toilet) can stay any time between 6pm and 9am in five car parks, in Totnes, Ivybridge, Modbury, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. It’s £15 a night, for up to two nights in a row with no return within 48 hours, and none of the five has a height barrier. Vans must be 6 m apart, and there’s nothing outside the van: no awnings, chairs, generators, barbecues or waste. Sleeping isn’t allowed in any of the council’s other car parks.
- East Devon District Council: overnight stopovers are allowed in two car parks in Exmouth, Maer Road and the Queen’s Drive Echelon on the seafront. In July 2025 the council agreed to raise the charge from £11 to £20 a night, take payment by RingGo only, limit stays to two nights with no return to either car park within 72 hours, and add a water tap and grey and toilet waste points at Maer Road. Check the tariff board when you arrive. Converted vans are welcome as well as motorhomes. Exmouth is the only town in East Devon with overnight stopovers; elsewhere, as in Seaton, the council’s car parks take motorhomes from 8am to 10pm only.
- Torbay Council (Torquay, Paignton and Brixham): campervans and motorhomes can park by day in its car parks without height barriers, paying for every bay they use, but sleeping, camping and cooking aren’t allowed. On the street, a van must fit inside one bay; you can’t pay for two.
- Teignbridge District Council (Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Ashburton and Bovey Tracey): its 2026 car park order bans overnight sleeping, camping and cooking in all its car parks without written consent.
- Exeter City Council: no sleeping in vehicles, by day or overnight, in its car parks. Motorhomes can park by day, for up to 24 hours with no return within 24 hours, at Magdalen Street, Howell Road, Holman Way, Tappers Close, Haven Banks (car parks two and three) and, in summer, Topsham Quay, which have no height barriers. Pay for every bay you use.
- Plymouth City Council: its car park order bans sleeping, camping and cooking in its car parks. In August 2026 it also proposed banning motorhomes and campers from 11pm to 8am at Mount Batten Pier and Richmond Walk.
- West Devon Borough Council (Tavistock and Okehampton): no overnight sleeping or camping in any of its car parks. Vehicles over 5 m generally aren’t allowed in them, but motorhomes too big for a bay can park by day at Riverside in Tavistock and Mill Road in Okehampton, buying a ticket for each bay.
- Mid Devon District Council (Tiverton, Cullompton and Crediton): there’s no overnight motorhome scheme; read the tariff board in each car park.
Dartmoor. The national park’s byelaws, made in 1989, say no one “shall knowingly use any vehicle, including a caravan or any structure other than a tent for the purpose of camping” on the commons and other access land in the park. That includes the car parks on the commons, so you can’t sleep in your van on the moor unless a sign says you can; the maximum fine is £500. The Supreme Court’s 2025 ruling that the public can wild camp on the Dartmoor commons is about backpack camping, on foot, not vehicles. West Devon’s car parks in Tavistock and Okehampton don’t allow sleeping either.
Exmoor. The Exmoor National Park Authority’s car parks don’t allow overnight parking or camping, and the authority says you need the landowner’s permission to park up overnight anywhere on Exmoor. On the Devon side, North Devon Council’s Bottom Meadow car park in Lynton takes self-contained motorhomes overnight.
National Trust and Forestry England. The National Trust doesn’t allow overnight parking at any of its places. Forestry England doesn’t allow overnight stays in its car parks, and none of its Devon forests was in the summer 2026 trial of booked campervan stopovers.
Some of the old free spots have gone. On Exmouth’s seafront the place to stay is now the council’s paid stopover, Torbay’s car parks ban sleeping, and the roadside spots on Dartmoor are covered by the byelaws.

Campsites
Devon has a huge choice of campsites, from big holiday parks to farm fields. Most close from October or November to March or Easter, so for a winter trip pick one that’s open all year: Westacott Farm near Bideford, the Tavistock Camping and Caravanning Club site, Mount Folly Farm at Bigbury, Beverley Park in Paignton, Cofton and Lady’s Mile near Dawlish, and Kennford International near Exeter. Book ahead for the summer holidays.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has eleven club sites in Devon, all open to non-members, plus two affiliated sites, Damage Barton and Lydford; its Ilfracombe site has closed. The Camping and Caravanning Club has five. Members of either club can also use their small certificated sites, which take up to five vans and are often on farms. Since 2023 pop-up sites in England can open for up to 60 days a year and take motorhomes and campervans as well as tents. Brit Stops members can stop a night at farm shops, pubs and other places that host self-contained vans.
Many sites are down narrow lanes and ask you not to follow your satnav; use the directions on the site’s website. Some don’t take every van: Kennford International won’t take sign-written vehicles, or converted commercial vehicles without valid safety certificates, and Woodland Springs takes only properly converted campervans, not a van with a bed in the back. If you’ve converted your own van, ask before you book.
Seasons are for 2027 where the site has published them.

Getting there and driving
Main roads. The M5 ends at Exeter. From there the A30 runs west past Okehampton to Cornwall, the A38 runs south-west to Plymouth and the A380 to Torbay. The A361 North Devon Link Road leaves the M5 at junction 27 for Barnstaple, and the A39 runs along the north coast from Exmoor through Bideford to Bude. Away from the main roads, many lanes are single track between high hedges, with passing places. Campsites all over the county warn that satnavs send vans down unsuitable lanes, so follow their directions.
Dartmoor roads. Ponies, sheep and cattle graze the unfenced moorland beside the roads, so take it slowly, especially after dark.
Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry. Crossing into Cornwall is free; the toll is paid coming back into Devon, from Saltash on the bridge and from Torpoint on the ferry. A vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes pays £3; over 3.5 tonnes it’s £7.30 with two axles and, on the bridge, £12 with three. Pay by cash or card; a TamarTag, linked to a prepaid account, halves the toll. The Torpoint Ferry’s three chain ferries cross the Tamar between Devonport and Torpoint 24 hours a day, every 10 minutes at busy times.
Dartmouth ferries. Two vehicle ferries cross the Dart between Dartmouth and Kingswear and save a long drive round. The Higher Ferry, on the A379, runs every day, from 6.30am (8am on Sundays) to 10.50pm. It was built to take a double-decker bus, has an 18-tonne weight limit, and high-sided vehicles use the two middle lanes. A car is £8.90 single or £15.50 same-day return, goods vehicles of 3.5 to 7.5 tonnes £11.50, and other vehicles pay the rate for the nearest similar vehicle; pay by card only. It closes for its refit from 18 January to 1 February 2027.
The Lower Ferry, run by South Hams District Council, is a floating platform pushed by a tug, between the centre of Dartmouth and Kingswear. It runs all year except Christmas Day, from about 7am (8am on Sundays) until about 11pm. Prices, unchanged since June 2025, go by vehicle and weight: £7.50 single for a car or small van under 2,000 kg, £10 for a light commercial vehicle under 3,500 kg and £15 up to 7,500 kg. It’s running a single ferry for its refit until 13 December 2026, so expect queues. Tel: 01803 752342.
Clean air zones. There are none in Devon or Cornwall. The nearest are in the centres of Bristol and Bath; the M5 doesn’t go through either.
Speed limits. A motorhome or campervan up to 3.05 tonnes unladen can do the same as a car. Over 3.05 tonnes, it’s 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways, with 70 mph on motorways.
Ferries. Brittany Ferries sails from Plymouth to Roscoff in Brittany and to Santander in Spain. Darren came home that way from Santander in 2007. See ferries.
North Devon
Hartland Point
The far north-west corner of Devon, with the lighthouse, huge cliffs and the coast path. It’s a great stop by day; for the night, Hartland Caravan and Camping Park is a five-minute walk from the village.
Westward Ho!, Bideford and Appledore
Go through Westward Ho! keeping the sea to your right and keep going, and you’ll find the car park next to the tors that Darren liked, with public toilets, an outside tap and a fantastic path to two secluded beaches. For the night now, use Torridge District Council’s Main car park on Golf Links Road in the centre of the village, which takes motorhomes from 6pm to 8am for £12 a bay. Bideford’s Riverbank car park and Churchfields in Appledore take them too. Westacott Farm, just outside Bideford, is open all year.
Croyde, Braunton and Woolacombe
The big surf beaches: Saunton Sands, Croyde and the long sweep of Woolacombe. Lobb Fields at Braunton needs no narrow lanes to reach, and Damage Barton and Willingcott are close to Woolacombe.
Ilfracombe and Barnstaple
Ilfracombe is a harbour town with the coast path on both sides. North Devon Council’s Hillsborough car park takes self-contained motorhomes overnight, as does North Walk in Barnstaple, North Devon’s main town. Hele Valley is just east of Ilfracombe.
Exmoor: Lynton and Lynmouth
Lynton sits on the cliff top and Lynmouth at the bottom, joined by the cliff railway. North Devon Council’s Bottom Meadow car park in Lynton takes self-contained motorhomes overnight; the other council car parks in the two villages don’t allow sleeping. The Lynton Camping and Caravanning Club site is just outside the town.
Dartmoor National Park
Dartmoor has loads of great parking spots. The bigger ones are marked on maps, but there are plenty more: drive along a road and chances are you’ll find a decent spot to park up. They don’t usually have any facilities, and the bigger ones can get busy from early in the morning. They’re for day visits only: the byelaws ban sleeping in a vehicle on the commons, car parks included.
For the night, stay on a campsite around the edge of the moor: Tavistock and Langstone Manor on the west, Lydford and Woodland Springs on the north, and Parkers Farm, Dornafield and Stover on the south-east. The Plume of Feathers in Princetown, in the middle of the moor, has ten motorhome pitches behind the pub.
Plymouth
Plymouth has the Hoe, the Barbican and the ferry port. The city council’s car parks don’t allow sleeping. The Plymouth Sound club site at Down Thomas, south-east of the city, is the nearest campsite. In 2007 Darren came off the Santander ferry here, drove into the city centre to tax the van and buy new clothes, and headed home to Cornwall.
The South Hams
Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island
Bigbury’s sandy beach looks across to Burgh Island, an interesting place with a wonderful sea tractor. Darren stayed at Mount Folly Farm, just up the hill, in January 2026: outrageous views, a short walk to the beach, and vending machines with the farm’s own milk, milkshakes and ice cream. The toilets and showers were in poor condition, so it suits a self-sufficient van best. It’s open all year.
Salcombe, Hope Cove and Kingsbridge
Salcombe is a sailing town at the mouth of the estuary, and Hope Cove is a small fishing village with a sandy beach. The lanes down to the coast are narrow. South Hams’ Cattlemarket car park in Kingsbridge takes self-contained motorhomes overnight, and Karrageen, Bolberry House Farm and Alston Farm are close to the coast.
Slapton Sands and Start Bay
A long shingle beach between the sea and Slapton Ley, with Torcross at the southern end. Check road closures before you go: the Slapton Sands club site asks you not to come via Torcross. Start Bay club site is close by.
Dartmouth and Kingswear
A beautiful old port on the Dart, with Kingswear across the river. Motor caravans aren’t allowed on the North and South Embankments from 6pm to 9am. Use the Park and Ride, which takes self-contained motorhomes overnight for £15, or the Dartmouth club site at Stoke Fleming, near Blackpool Sands.
Totnes
A market town at the head of the Dart estuary. South Hams’ Longmarsh car park takes self-contained motorhomes overnight.
Torbay
Torquay
Torquay has the harbour and the beaches. Torbay Council’s car parks take campervans by day if there’s no height barrier, such as Abbey Park, Meadfoot Beach and Sheddon Hill, but you can’t sleep in them. Widdicombe Farm, on the Ring Road, is adults only.
Paignton
Paignton is a busy seaside town. Torbay’s car parks there, such as Preston Gardens, Youngs Park and Colin Road, take campervans by day, but they ban sleeping, camping and cooking. Beverley Park is open all year, and Whitehill is on the edge of town towards Stoke Gabriel.
Brixham
A fishing port at the southern end of the bay. Breakwater, Freshwater and Oxen Cove car parks take campervans by day. The Hillhead club site reopened in July 2026 after rebuilding.
Exeter
The county city, with the cathedral, the quay and the canal down to Topsham. Park by day in one of the car parks without height barriers, such as Haven Banks by the quay, and stay at Kennford International or the Exeter Racecourse club site, both at Kennford.
Exmouth and East Devon
Exmouth
Exmouth is a pleasant seaside town at the mouth of the Exe. Along the seafront towards Orcombe Point, the parking faces the sea. East Devon District Council’s Queen’s Drive Echelon and Maer Road car parks, by the beach, are the only council car parks in East Devon where you can stay the night, for a fee; Foxholes, nearby, isn’t one of them. Don’t stop on Queen’s Drive itself, Imperial Road or Maer Road, where the county’s orders ban motor caravans. Webbers Park at Woodbury is the nearest campsite.
Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Seaton
The Jurassic Coast runs east from Exmouth through Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Beer to Seaton and on into Dorset. The district council’s car parks along this stretch don’t take motorhomes overnight. Salcombe Regis and Putts Corner are near Sidmouth, and Andrewshayes is inland near Axminster.
