What are the ideal times to hire a motorhome in Devon?

The peak season for hiring a motorhome in Devon typically runs from late spring through to early autumn, especially during the summer months. This period offers warm weather, longer daylight hours, and vibrant local events, making it an enticing time for travellers. However, the increased popularity also leads to higher prices, crowded campsites and more traffic on the roads. It is essential to book well in advance to secure your preferred motorhome during this busy time.

For those seeking a more tranquil experience, the shoulder season from late April to early June and then September to early October is highly recommended. During these months, the weather remains mild and pleasant, with fewer visitors exploring the beautiful coastline and countryside. You can enjoy the scenic views and local attractions with less competition, while also benefiting from improved availability and lower rental costs, making it a perfect time for a relaxed getaway.

What are top motorhome road-trip ideas from Devon?

Devon offers a variety of captivating motorhome road trips, perfect for exploring the region's diverse landscapes. A delightful coastal loop can take you from Torquay to Plymouth, where you can marvel at the stunning seafront views and vibrant towns along the way. Alternatively, consider a market-town run to Newton Abbot and Exeter, soaking in the local culture and historical sights.

What are the best parking options for motorhomes in Devon?

Finding suitable parking for a motorhome in Devon can be challenging, particularly in towns and city centres. Many multi-storey car parks impose height restrictions, which can prevent larger vehicles from accessing them. It’s important to look for surface car parks where there are longer bays and consider the length of your vehicle, as on-street parking often has strict limits. Researching local park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts of towns can be a practical solution, enabling you to park your motorhome conveniently and take public transport into the centre.

For overnight stays, it's advisable to use official campsites or sites designated for motorhomes rather than attempting on-street parking, which may not be permitted or safe. Many visitors find it convenient to base themselves a short distance outside major towns, allowing easy access to both the countryside and coastal areas. This not only provides secure overnight facilities but also a more tranquil environment for relaxing after a day of exploration.
