colin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The service stations at bottom of M5 have lots of MH's and caravans stopping in the truck parking, not cheap though, we often stop there, leaving late after work and dinner to let traffic ease then drive till around midnight, not a time many sites would want you to arrive, anougher option is to use truck stops, most are a lot cheaper, we have the book not now availible but there is a online version if anyone can remember address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow-Chasers Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 If you go via the A39 home, then you can go via barnstaple and near south molton is a great little place called 'riverside' Just on the main road, and does not need booking, and has no minimum stay. So great for overnight stops. Means you can meander back to coastal route too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWO Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi there According to the Motorhome Friendly &Unfriendly parking website there is a motorhome stopover on the A38 at Lee Mills just before Plymouth. the web site indicates that lots of m/hs use it. I would have to say that when we down that way last March it looked as if a number of Fair ground lorries were parked up there( No prejudice to fair ground lorries intended) Anyboby any experience ??
