Campervan and motor home parking

Find out where you can park campervans and motor homes in Torbay.

Please be aware that Harbour car park, Torquay, is currently closed.

A recent inspection has identified defects in a small number of supporting beams in the car park structure. This means the multi storey section of the car park isn’t safe for pedestrians or cars until essential repairs can be carried out. This has required us to close both upper and lower parking levels. Parking for Premier Inn customers is unaffected by the closure.

Please be assured that the decision to close the car park was not taken lightly. We are aware that the closure will cause disruption for local businesses, residents and visitors alike. We are working hard to reopen the car park as soon as possible.

The closure includes both Montpellier Road and Museum Road entrances.

During the closure, you are advised to park in alternative local car parks at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay. Fleet Walk pay on exit car park and the Torquay Marina car park are also available.

Permits for Harbour car park can be used at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay car parks.

We appreciate your patience whilst the essential repairs are carried out. Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Campervans and motor homes are welcome in our car parks where we do not have 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.

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 which also includes walls and promenades and any other land. Vehicles are not permitted to use multiple parking spaces even if more than one pay and display ticket or parking session is paid for.

On-street Parking

Pay and Display Tickets in Car Parks

If your vehicle takes up more than one parking bay, you must 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 any part of the bay markings, 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.
