CORNWALL - 'No Overnight Parking!' - What's the verdict?

Who doesn't love Cornwall? And what a time of year to be returning...Spring!
But how is the 'No Overnight Parking' capital of the UK these days?
We find out, the best way possible, with a spontaneous road trip across this West Country gem and search out some of the best FREE (or CHEAP) park ups along the way!
With an influx of 1,000's of FESTIVAL goers converging for 'Tunes In The Dunes', in Perranporth...Wild, free or cheap overnight parking could be even more difficult to find?

I live in Cornwall, vans parked everywhere they want to is a huge issue. We’ve had them parked down our lane in such a way nobody could get out of the lane, it happens every summer. With the the a30 closure until December Cornwall is going to be worse than ever this year. I wish there was a planned solution rather than just a flat no parking rule. So many fields sit empty and they could be utilised.

[@OurVanTales]

That’s a great idea…More ‘pop up’ farmers fields and council carparks allowing good value (sensible) overnight parking at the height of the season 🫶

The window grills are by Omit Van. They simply slot in and allow you to effectively shut your windows still, for security, whilst allowing airflow.
