Roads and traffic in Plymouth with a motorhome
Driving in Plymouth is not easy as there seem to be road works and traffic jams at ever turn, I would try and avoid driving your motorhome into the very centre of Plymouth as this can be very stressful, and can spoil your day. All major roads seem to be very congested a lot of the time, and we think your always best to park on the outskirts and use public transport from this point.
Parking your Motorhome in Plymouth
Plymouth's multi storey car parks have a height restriction of 2 metres, but open surface car parks have no height restrictions displayed at the entrance. Plymouth council allows the parking of motorhomes in two bays if the motorhome is too long for one bay, as long as you pay for both of the bays. The council has not implemented any special arrangements for motorhome parking in the area which also applies to overnight parking. Plymouth is not really a motorhome friendly area in regards to parking and there is only Bretonside bus station that allows overnight parking with shower and toilet facilities.
