We overnighted there on 30th April along with 5-6 others.

Wildcamping Dover promenade?
Does anyone know whether you can still wildcamp overnight on the seafront promenade at Dover, whilst waiting for the 5am ferry? We did that a couple of years ago, when we arrived early, & it was ideal: in fact we were advised to go there by the port staff as they no longer allow you to stopover within the port area. There were lots of motorhomes all along the roadside - wondered if you can still do that?

If you mean Marine Parade - then yes you can.

Marine Parade is free after 6pm (if I remember correctly)
Yes indeed - we were there in April.
I think it is preferred if you take the end furthest from the docks - i.e. on the right as you look out to sea..

Early evening we will be having a meal at the pub in St Margarets under Cliffe and then get down to the Parade about 10 ish I guess. Keep your light on and we will pop in for a night cap.
Re: marine parade
We have a SeaFrance carnet this year and the ticket is fully amendable except for specific holiday weekends. We are paying £32 each way.
We'll be there on 3 June unless we decide to cross over. Depends on what time we get there and whether we need to eat.mearscat said:save us a spot. we will be there on the 4th June.

Sounds like it could be the Annual MH Convention at Dover then on the 4th.
We are aiming for the 0400 ferry on that day as well.

We will hopefully be there around the second week in June if not before. Why does everyone seem to be getting the really early ferry? I was going to book 7:30 or 8:00am, around that time. Am I missing something here? Cant come soon enough for me. We have been planning this trip for what seems like ages. We are going for two months and I cant believe what a nightmare it is to uproot yourself from society just for two months! Still seems like its a long way off!
I notice on Google map that Marine Parade is split by the main drag towards the Port entrance rbt.
The western bit is more or less the prom that sweeps round to the marina and then the eastern part (much shorter) up towards the rbt.
Which is the part best used for overnighting?

Hi There Hampshireman
The way I do it is:
Come off the A20 at the roundabout you mentioned onto the Esplanade over the marina swing bridge then turn left (still the Esplanade) - over the roundabout onto Waterloo Crescent then onto Marine Parade. Look for other motorhomers and have a good nights sleep.
Enjoy your trip

Exodus as it is June and before school hols in general I guess, but for us it's to get to Amboise for Gaspode's Brass Band Festival Rally.
Thanks David, it looks like the 3rd rbt on the A20 inbound and right to Esplanade, then swing bridge left to M/Parade. I was talking about the port entrance rbt, much further on.

Re: marine parade
How did you get it SO cheaply
I paid £210 a week ago for a fully amendable dover calais return trip with a 5m camper + 3m trailer. so it would seem my trailer is very costly.autostratus said:We'll be there on 3 June unless we decide to cross over.
