oh you don't want a lay-by, surely. Noisy, buffeted by passing lorries all night, potentially the target of anyone coming home from a night out who fancies hammering the sides of the van for fun or trying the doors, never mind the safety issue of someone coming off the road for an emergency and slamming into the back of you.
A small site will be part of your holiday, and need not be expensive.

Technically (in England & Wales, different laws in Scotland) I believe it's illegal to 'camp' in a layby as it's considered part of the highway where 'camping' is prohibited. The powers that be firstly have to catch you, then be bothered to do something about it, but you may find your overnight stop disturbed and be forced to move on.
A layby on a major road is not a pleasant place for a number of reasons, even worse than most services. For something like only £10 or £12, I'd be very inclined to seek out a CL type site, most of them are lovely, make it part of your holiday and arrive at your main site fresh and ready to enjoy yourself.
I do sympathise with you, I think many of us who do long distances have the same problem, really is a case of the law being an Ass, you are required not to drive when tired or for excessive hours, yet prevented from stopping for any reasonable rest period in anything but a services or camp site simply because of the outfit you drive!
