Quick Overview
Camelford offers several motorhome dump stations for motorhome travelers exploring Cornwall's rugged north coast. Currently, some stations provide free access, meaning you'll need to budget for sanidump services while touring this historic market town. Located in the heart of Cornwall near Bodmin Moor, Camelford sits perfectly positioned for RVers exploring the dramatic coastline from Tintagel to Port Isaac. The area attracts motorhome enthusiasts year-round, particularly during summer months when coastal camping reaches peak popularity. Both available stations operate as private facilities within established caravan parks and motorhome sites. These sanitary dump stations typically offer full motorhome waste disposal services including waste water and grey water dumping, though amenities vary between locations. The newest addition, Camelford Caravan And Motorhome Club Campsite, provides modern facilities for members and non-members alike. Access to dump stations here requires navigating narrow Cornish lanes typical of the region, so plan your route carefully if you're driving a larger rig. Most facilities also provide fresh water fill-up services alongside waste disposal. The town's position on the A39 Atlantic Highway makes it a natural stopping point for RVers touring Cornwall's dramatic coastline. You'll find these dump stations integrate well with the area's tourism infrastructure, supporting the steady flow of motorhome travelers who choose Cornwall for extended camping holidays.

The A39 Atlantic Highway serves as your primary route into Camelford, connecting directly to the A30 Cornwall's main arterial road. From the east, take the A39 westbound from Wadebridge, while travelers from Devon should follow the A30 to Bodmin before joining the A39 north. Be aware that Cornish roads narrow significantly once you leave main routes, with many lanes barely wide enough for two cars to pass. Height restrictions exist on several approach roads, particularly the B3266 from Tintagel which has a 13-foot bridge limit near the coast. Weight restrictions apply to some minor roads, so stick to designated truck routes when possible. The town center features extremely narrow streets unsuitable for larger RVs, so plan to access dump stations directly rather than touring the historic center first. Overnight parking options are limited, with most RVers staying at designated sites rather than attempting wild camping. Seasonal considerations include increased traffic during summer months when coastal tourism peaks, making early morning or late afternoon the best times for maneuvering larger rigs through the area.

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 Camelford, 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 Camelford

Expect to pay between £3-8 for motorhome service point access at private facilities, with Caravan Club members typically receiving discounted rates at affiliated sites.

Most paid stations include fresh water fill-up in their fees, making the cost more reasonable when you factor in both services. Some facilities offer weekly or seasonal passes for frequent users, particularly beneficial during longer Cornwall touring holidays. Caravan Club membership can provide significant savings if you're planning to use multiple club sites across Cornwall, as member rates typically run £2-3 less than non-member fees. Consider timing your visits during off-peak hours when some sites offer reduced rates for quick dump-only visits rather than full facility access.

Explore the Camelford Area
Time your motorhome service point visits for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak tourist traffic on Camelford's narrow roads. The Camelford Caravan And Motorhome Club site offers the most comprehensive services, including fresh water and waste disposal in one location. Bring your own hose and gloves, as not all stations provide these essentials, and consider carrying extra rinse water since some facilities have limited water pressure. Stock up on supplies at the Tesco Express on Fore Street before heading to dump stations, as it's more convenient than backtracking through town later. For propane refills, head to the Calor Gas dealer at Camelford Motors on Valley Road, about half a mile from the town center. The local tip on Clease Road accepts general waste but not motorhome-specific waste, so handle all black and grey water at designated dump stations only. If you need motorhome repairs or servicing, Camelford Garage on the A39 handles basic motorhome maintenance, though major repairs require a trip to larger towns like Bodmin or Launceston.
