Princetown

Motorhome Stopovers in Princetown

Princetown is the highest town in England, sitting at around 1,400 feet on the central plateau of Dartmoor in Devon. It’s remote, exposed, and unmistakably moorland in character — the B3212 passes through it, connecting Yelverton to the south with Moretonhampstead to the northeast. Dartmoor Prison dominates the town’s outline, and the surrounding landscape is open high moor with wide views in every direction. The A386 at Yelverton is the nearest trunk road, roughly five miles to the southwest.

Motorhomers passing through Princetown are usually here for Dartmoor itself — walking, cycling, or simply parking up in a genuinely remote setting. Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Princetown, where overnight motorhome parking options on the high moor need a bit of local knowledge to get right.
