Motorhomes Parking & Waste Disposal

North Norfolk is a great place to visit in a camper van, caravan or tent and we welcome thousands of visitors camping each year from all around the country.

There are lots of approved and authorised places across north Norfolk to camp, which include facilities for motorhomes and camper vans to dispose of waste and access to public facilities such as water refilling.

Camper Van and Motorhome Parking:

Parking of camper vans and motorhomes is permitted at NNDC operated car parks however staying overnight is prohibited. Penalty notices can be issued for overnight camping in Council owned car parks. A full list of NNDC operated car parks is available here. Council operated parking locations suitable for motorhomes: Cromer, Runton Road, NR27 9AU | East Runton, Beach Road, NR27 9PA | Happisburgh, Cart Gap, NR12 0QL | Mundesley, Gold Park, NR11 8BG | Overstrand, Pauls Lane, NR27 0PE | Sea Palling, Clink Lane, NR12 0UL | Weybourne, Beach Road, NR25 7SR.

The majority of town centre car parks have marked bays, which should be respected and if a motorhome vehicle is too large for the bays of a standard vehicle a ticket should be purchased for two spaces. However, in most coastal car parks operated by North Norfolk District Council, there are no marked bays and motorhome owners should purchase a single ticket. These car parks are often large, grassed areas where there is lots of space for turning and parking for larger vehicles.

Where to stay:

There are lots of approved and authorised places with facilities across north Norfolk to camp. You can find a list of north Norfolk sites here and here, and Norfolk sites here. Please note that ‘Wild Camping’ (including motorhomes) is not permitted in north Norfolk. That includes beaches, beach access points, woodland and heathland, Broads car parks and public access sites anywhere in the area.

Disposal of waste:

The disposal of chemical toilet waste is not permitted in public toilets as they are not designed to accommodate the volumes and chemicals required. Many caravan parks and campsites now have specialist disposal systems which will take this kind of condensed waste. If incorrectly disposed of, chemical toilets can cause avoidable blockages in pipe networks. You can find a list of places in north Norfolk with waste disposal facilities below.
