Gillingham

Motorhome Stopovers in Gillingham

Gillingham is a small north Dorset market town on the River Stour, close to the A303 and well positioned for motorhomers cutting between the southwest and the south coast. It sits near the county borders of Somerset and Wiltshire, with Shaftesbury just a few miles to the south and Stourhead across the border to the northeast — making it a useful overnight base rather than just a passing point.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Gillingham — good overnight stops for anyone touring north Dorset or using the A303 corridor without wanting to push on to a formal campsite.
