In south of france all month, arriving back 10pm ish would like somewhere to park over night till mid day. If possible around the M25 / M1 area. Will be heading back to Derby from Dover but would at least like to get over Dartford crossing before parking up.
We are 30' long, mains would be nice but not necessary.
Thanks to all for your replies.
Regards
Lampie.

Arriving at night you won't find it easy to get into a site around midnight.. I suggest you stop at the Thurock services on the M25 North side of the Dartford crossing ..

Good idea Jim
The next sensible rest area is up at Stanstead on the M11 which in an RV will be about 1/2ish (at that time of night) hour north, and they have overnight truck facilities.
Good luck

We usually arrive back in Dover 10 or 11'ish en route for Loughborough.
We park up on the Marine Parade/Esplanade, Dover:

From ferry terminal take A20, Folkestone road and second roundabout for your size vehicle. This to cross little bridge for Marina and turn left to Esplanade.
We move off around 8am and breakfast at Maidstone services on the M20 giving rush hour traffic time to reduce on the Dartford crossing.
It's then M11,A14, A1M and Leicester by pass then A6.
We've never found another decent long stay stop before the A47 to Leicester.
I am with Gillian on this. You would be better off on the Esplanade. then wait for traffic to die off. Should be a breeze to get home if you leave around 8:30-9am.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the parking restrictions/meters start at 8am.
Best to check if you intend to overnight there.

I don't think this is a good plan, traffic on the M25 and M11 is heavy by mid morning and there is a good chance of being caught in a queue at the Dartford crossing.
Stop overnight at either Thurock or Stanstead and have an early 'kick off' (5:30 ish) to avoid the morning rush, which lasts all day.
