We've been a bit quiet on FB recently - away in the campervan enjoying the weather and a few of the motorhome stopovers that we have listed on our website: https://www.ukmotorhomes.net/uk-stopovers/uk-stopover-listings

If you haven't checked it out recently take a look now! There's quite a few new ones been added for this year, many thanks to the hard work by the Campaign for Real Aires - CAMpRA https://www.campra.org.uk

As always, if you can help with updates or know of any aires/stopovers that are not listed on our website (must be specifically for motorhomes/campervans only, and authorised) please let us know.

A South Devon Council - South Hams - has commissioned a report to identify opportunities to amend car park operations and make recommendations relating to overnight sleeping within their off-street car parks.

In recent years there have been increasing numbers of motorhomes and campervan users opting to use car parks and other locations for overnight stays in the South Hams. This proposal would allow overnight sleeping for a two-night consecutive stay in some car parks, with no return within 48 hours.
