We are arriving back in Portsmouth with a motorhome during the evening and would like to know if there is an official car park near to the ferry where we can legitimately park overnight in order to set off home in the morning. Any assistance will be appreciated.

If you look in the Campsites in the UK forum, someone else has asked a Portsmouth question recently & got several suggestions. And as suggested, a Search may indeed show earlier threads from past years.

-------------
2026: 6 sites / 13 nights. 2025: 13/27. 2024: 20/41. 2023: 9/23. 2022: 13/35. 2021: 11/29. 2020: 4/20. 2019: 13/35. 2018: 20/33. 2017: 10/22. 2016: 19/33. 2015: 15/27. Didn't count sites/nights 1976 to 2014.

You used to be able to park overnight at the port - not sure whether this is still the case but a quick phone call to Brittany ferries at Portsmouth should confirm this.

Yes I did have a quick look through but couldn’t see anything which was able to clearly explain whether overnight parking is permitted at the port after a return journey in the evening. I do know that overnight parking is permitted prior to an early morning departure in the evening as I did so two years ago. Many thanks for your response.

You can overnight in the car park at Port Solent just down the road. You have to call the number on the sign to let them know.
You then have access to bars and restaurants should you require and a large Tesco opposite with a filling station.

Many thanks. That's very helpful.Can you confirm if it's the Port Solent Marina Customer Parking and doesn't have a height barrier please? Cheers.

Yep that’s the one and no height barrier. The car park is huge so you will be able to find a quiet corner somewhere.
Glad to be of help.
