WTG, if you are going further into Cornwall with a motorhome you can stop overnight in the parking area at the Britannia Inn at Par - it may even still be free of charge. It is handy for visits to the Eden Project which has abundant daytime parking but I think not overnight.

You can also overnight in the car park opposite the visitor center.

That is always a risk of opening areas to motorhomes but when councils are offering these facilities they are also tightening up on the TROs and such people could well be fined, moved on in such cirumstances. Hopefully, if it does not get watered down too much, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill now in its final stages will also help with these problems

Whatever the pros & cons, it’s good to see Devon councils collectively taking a progressive attitude to MH overnight parking. Neighbouring South Hams also introduced a scheme [South Hams] including Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Modbury, Ivybridge and Totnes. I wish Cornwall and others in the SW were as enlightened.
