Motorhome Stopovers in Christchurch

Christchurch sits at the meeting point of the Rivers Stour and Avon on the Dorset coast, now part of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary authority. The A35 runs through the town connecting it to Bournemouth to the west and the New Forest to the east, and the A338 gives quick access north toward Ringwood and the M27. It's a genuine historic market town with a priory that dominates the skyline — and it's well placed for motorhomers touring either the Dorset Heritage Coast or the New Forest National Park.

Christchurch gets busy in summer, and commercial parking for motorhomes can be tight near the town centre and quay. Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops and motorhome-friendly options in the area — worth knowing before you arrive on a busy weekend.
