Motorhome Stopovers in Dartmouth

Dartmouth sits at the mouth of the River Dart in the South Hams district of Devon — a historic port town accessed via the A3122 from Totnes or by the passenger ferry across the estuary from Kingswear. It's a compact, steep-streeted town with a working harbour, Dartmouth Castle guarding the estuary entrance, and the Royal Naval College dominating the hillside above. The South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounds it on all sides.

Parking a motorhome in Dartmouth itself takes planning — the town is tight and hilly — but Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops and motorhome-friendly options in the surrounding area, helping you get the most out of this corner of the South Hams without the guesswork.
