Could someone please help?  We are travelling to Newquay, Cornwall on Friday evening at around 7pm, trying to miss the bank holiday rush!  My husband is going to keep going until we are close to the campsite - Hendra.  Does anyone know of a site that we could stop overnight at that will allow us to turn up at 1amapprox, no electric, just put jacks down, sleep and go at 9am the next day?

Hendra wanted £25.00 to do this, trying to get a cheaper option.

Thank you

3 more sleeps to go..................

Thank you for that, think we will try the Morrisons Car Park, we will be moved by the time people come onto it!

You can park at the motorway services second to last.  They have a special area for caravans to park overnight.

Amazing coincidence! I have just come on the message board to ask the same question. Travelling down to Bude on Friday evening and wanted to stop within a couple of hours drive of the campsite so we could arrive relatively early on Saturday.

If you are still here Topper, can you tell me the services that you are referring to as it sounds perfect. Thanks. 

To DeeH I think Nigel16 is correct the services are called Taunton Deane Services.  You can park in the normal car park for 2 hours for free, but as stated there is a charge to park for longer.  We normally stop there for two hours and set an alarm clock and then set off again.  Stop a while later for breakfast and aim to arrive at destination as early as possible.  The roads tend to get busy as the morning progresses.  Enjoy your trip to Bude.  We went last year - the site we stayed at was not the best one but the beaches were great.  If you have children the main beach at Bude is good as it has a seawater swimming pool which is manned by life guards.  My daughter and her friends loved it.  Happy holidays!!
