Campervan & Motorhome Parking

Campervans and motor homes are welcome in Torbay Council car parks where there is no height barriers installed, as listed below. All vehicles must be parked so that they do not overhang any part of the parking bays, as parking in this manner can cause hazards for passing pedestrians, or obstruct the flow of traffic within the car park.  Overnight camping is not allowed.   

Campervans and motor homes which are parked on the highway are required to adhere to on-street parking restrictions and must ensure that they park their vehicle in a location suitable to the size of their vehicle. When using designated on-street parking bays, the vehicle must fit entirely within the bay markings, and must not overhang any part of the bay.  Further information can be viewed here.

Pay and Display Tickets

If your vehicle takes up more than one parking bay you will have to purchase a pay and display ticket for each of the bays occupied, and your vehicle must not overhang the bay markings so as to cause an obstruction to pedestrians or traffic flow within the car park. If your vehicle overhangs the bay markings and is deemed to be causing an obstruction to traffic flow, or if you fail to display the correct number of tickets when using more than one marked bay, this will result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice.

Overnight Use

Overnight sleeping in vehicles or camping is not permitted, nor is the heating, cooking or preparing of food. There are many suitable camping and caravanning sites across the bay with full amenities. Further information can be found on the Camping and Touring page.
