Elsan Points In Bognor Regis, England
50.7821° N, 0.6798° W
Quick Overview
Bognor Regis has several motorhome dump stations, with some offering free access. This seaside town on England's south coast doesn't have the extensive chemical disposal network you'll find in major motorhome touring areas, but it covers the basics for motorhome travelers exploring the Sussex coastline.
Situated on the English Channel between Brighton and Portsmouth, Bognor Regis serves as a coastal stopping point for RVers touring southern England. The town attracts a mix of domestic caravan holidaymakers and international motorhome tourists, particularly during summer months when the seafront comes alive.
The motorhome service point landscape here consists entirely of caravan park facilities rather than standalone public sanitary dump stations. Both locations are private caravan sites that allow non-residents to use their motorhome waste disposal facilities for a fee. Rowan Park Caravan Club Site represents the newest addition to the area's dumping options, while facilities tend to follow the typical UK Caravan park model with designated service pitches.
Access to Bognor Regis involves navigating some narrow English roads typical of coastal towns. The A259 coastal route provides the main motorhome access, connecting to the A29 from the north. Most dump stations sit within established caravan parks, so you'll need to check in at reception before accessing their service areas.
The listings below show both locations with current access details and any restrictions for visiting RVers.

Reaching Bognor Regis requires careful route planning for larger RVs. The A29 provides the most direct north-south access from the M25 and major motorway network, though it narrows significantly as you approach the coast. From London, expect about 90 minutes of driving with some single-carriageway sections.
The A259 coastal road offers scenic access but includes several tight turns and narrow bridges that challenge bigger motorhomes. Weight restrictions apply on some older bridges along coastal routes, particularly east toward Brighton. Always check your rig's dimensions against posted limits.
Overnight parking options are extremely limited in Bognor Regis proper. The seafront has strict overnight restrictions, and most car parks prohibit motorhome sleeping. Your best bet involves staying at one of the local caravan parks or heading inland to designated motorhome stopovers. Some RVers use the Tesco car park on the outskirts, though this isn't officially sanctioned for overnight stays.
Winter road conditions rarely present major issues, but coastal winds can be fierce during storms. Spring and summer bring the heaviest traffic, making early morning or late evening travel preferable for maneuvering larger rigs through town.

Before You Go: Motorhome & Caravan Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Bognor Regis, England, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared travellers most often get stung.
Check your motorhome or caravan insurance
Standard car insurance won't cover a motorhome or touring caravan properly — dedicated cover accounts for the rebuild value, fitted contents, and awnings, plus European use if you plan to cross the Channel. If you're financing, comprehensive cover is usually required. Premiums vary widely by value, storage and mileage, so compare specialist insurers before each season.
Sort your breakdown cover
Not every breakdown policy will recover a heavy motorhome or a car-plus-caravan outfit — check the weight and length limits before you rely on it. The AA, RAC and Green Flag all offer motorhome-rated cover, and for Continental touring you'll want European breakdown cover with repatriation. Good policies recover the whole outfit, not just the towing vehicle.
Weigh up an extended warranty
Manufacturer warranties on new motorhomes are shorter than many buyers expect, and habitation faults — damp, appliances, electrics — get costly once cover lapses. An extended mechanical or habitation warranty can run to several thousand pounds if something major fails. Price one before the factory cover ends, not after a fault appears.
Budget for fuel, tolls and pitch fees
Fuel, site pitch fees, ferries and Continental tolls add up quickly on a touring trip. A cashback or fee-free travel card with no foreign-transaction charges saves real money once you cross the Channel. Club membership (the Camping and Caravanning Club or the Caravan and Motorhome Club) often pays for itself in reduced pitch fees over a season.

Dump Station Costs in Bognor Regis
Of the several stations in Bognor Regis, some (a portion%) are free while a portion% charge a fee. This reflects the typical UK pattern where most motorhome dumping happens at commercial caravan sites rather than free public facilities.
Expect to pay £5-8 for motorhome service point access at local caravan parks, which typically includes fresh water fill-up. These prices align with standard non-resident service fees across southern England's caravan sites. Some locations offer slightly better rates for Caravan Club members, though savings are modest.
The lack of free options means budgeting for waste disposal costs throughout your Sussex coast tour. Municipal councils in this area don't provide free motorhome services like you'll find in some European countries or certain US states.
Money-saving strategy: if you're staying multiple nights in the area, booking a pitch at one of the caravan parks often works out cheaper than paying daily dump fees. Many sites offer competitive rates for short stays, and you'll get full service pitch plus dump access included. Check for off-season discounts during autumn and winter months when coastal tourism drops significantly.

Explore the Bognor Regis Area
Both dump stations require checking in at caravan park reception before accessing their facilities, so don't just roll up to the service area. Rowan Park tends to be more accommodating to visiting motorhomes, while some sites prefer advance notice for non-residents.
Fresh water fill-ups are available at the same locations as the dump stations, though you'll pay the same access fee. The Tesco superstore on Shripney Road has a decent car park for provisioning, plus reasonable fuel prices compared to coastal petrol stations.
Hit the dump stations early morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest caravan movement times. Summer weekends see heavy traffic at all facilities, with Friday afternoons particularly congested as weekly holidaymakers arrive.
For propane, Calor gas exchanges are available at several locations including the caravan dealers along the A259. Motorhome repair services are limited, though Bognor Caravans on the Chichester Road handles basic motorhome maintenance. The nearest major motorhome service center sits in Worthing, about 20 minutes east.
Bring your own rinse hose and gloves - not all facilities provide them, and the ones that do might have equipment in questionable condition.
