Quick Overview
Lynton offers several motorhome dump stations for travelers exploring this stunning North Devon coastal town, though some provide free access. The chemical disposal options here cater to visitors drawn to Exmoor National Park and the dramatic Valley of Rocks.
Perched on clifftops overlooking the Bristol Channel, Lynton sits at the heart of some of England's most spectacular coastal scenery. RVers typically arrive here as part of Devon touring routes or extended stays exploring Exmoor's heathland and coastal paths. The town's elevated position and narrow Victorian-era streets require careful navigation for larger rigs.
Both dump stations in Lynton are located at established caravan and camping sites rather than standalone facilities. These sanitary dump stations provide full motorhome waste disposal services along with fresh water fills and rinse facilities. The Camping and Caravanning Club site offers the newest facility, recently added to serve both members and visiting RVers.
Access to Lynton involves winding A-roads through Exmoor, with the A39 Atlantic Highway being the primary route from either direction. The approach from Barnstaple via A399 and A39 requires patience with the steep gradients and tight corners typical of North Devon's coastal roads. Most RVers find the scenic drive worthwhile despite the challenging terrain.
Our directory provides current details on both stations, including access hours, pricing, and specific amenities available at each location.

Wild camping isn't permitted within Exmoor National Park boundaries, making advance booking at established sites essential during peak season.

Explore the Lynton Area
Morning visits to dump stations work best here, especially during summer when day-trippers crowd the narrow roads leading to Valley of Rocks and Watersmeet. The Camping and Caravanning Club site typically opens early for waste disposal, even for non-residents.
Fresh water is available at both dump locations, but bring your own hose as equipment availability varies. The coastal location means salt air can affect metal fittings, so rinse everything thoroughly after use. Propane refills are available in nearby Lynmouth, though the steep hill between towns makes multiple trips impractical.
For motorhome repairs or parts, head back toward Barnstaple where agricultural suppliers often stock basic caravan components. The nearest major motorhome dealership sits in Tiverton, about an hour's drive via winding roads. Stock up on supplies before arriving, as local shops focus on tourist needs rather than motorhome maintenance items.
