Traveling to Exmouth by RV

The A376 provides the main route into Exmouth from the M5 motorway, with junction 30 offering the most direct access. This scenic approach follows the Exe Estuary for several miles, giving you preview glimpses of the waterways you'll be exploring during your stay. The road handles RVs well, though it narrows in places through villages like Lympstone and Exton.

For larger rigs, avoid the coastal route through Budleigh Salterton, which features tight corners and steep hills that can challenge even experienced drivers. Instead, stick to the A376 or approach via the A3052 from the east, both of which maintain good width and reasonable gradients. Fuel stops are available at the Tesco Extra on Exeter Road before entering town proper.

The nearest major supply stop is Exeter, about 11 miles north, where you'll find multiple supermarkets, motorhome supply stores, and a Camping World equivalent at Go Outdoors. Stock up here if you need specialized camping gear or major grocery runs. Within Exmouth, Lidl and Co-op provide basic supplies, while the town center offers excellent fresh seafood from local fishmongers.

Parking larger RVs in town requires planning. The seafront car parks have height restrictions, but the Maer Road car park accommodates bigger vehicles. Many campgrounds offer day parking for non-guests if you want to explore on foot without moving your rig.
