Motorhome Stopovers in Stanhope

Stanhope is a small market town deep in Weardale, County Durham, sitting in the North Pennines AONB along the A689. It's a well-known stopping point for motorhomers heading west through the dale from the A1(M) towards Cumbria — the road follows the River Wear through some of the most open, dramatic upland scenery in the northeast. The North Pennines is England's largest AONB and one of Europe's designated Dark Sky Parks.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Stanhope — useful for anyone touring Weardale, exploring the North Pennines, or using the A689 as a cross-Pennine route.

Why Choose Motorhome Pub Stopovers in Stanhope

Convenient overnight stops:
Motorhome pub stopovers in Stanhope can provide a convenient alternative to a traditional campsite, often combining overnight parking with food, drinks and local hospitality. Many pub stopovers have no separate overnight parking charge, although venues may expect visitors to eat or drink at the pub. Always check the individual listing and contact the venue before travelling.

Facilities:
Facilities vary from venue to venue. Some motorhome pub stopovers may offer water, waste disposal, toilets or other useful facilities, while others simply provide somewhere suitable to park overnight. Check each listing for the latest information and facilities available.

The pub stopover experience:
Staying at a pub can be a useful way to break up a journey while enjoying local food, drinks and hospitality. Pub stopovers can also give motorhome and campervan travellers an opportunity to visit smaller towns and villages away from traditional campsites.

Check before travelling:
Opening hours, parking arrangements, facilities and overnight-stay policies can change. We recommend checking the listing, reading recent member reviews and contacting the venue before setting off.
