Across from the service station at Cambridge West (I think if memory serves), there is a restaurant called Herbies and adjacent to The Travelodge. They said we could park there as the services were £32.00 a night for all vehicles. Ok, we had breakfast when it opened (and really good) and Moho washed at car wash and still quids in.

I understand the Seven Wives in St Ives allows night stops. Close to town and the river. The pub does good meals and has live music some nights.

I would not go anywhere near here as the A14 is being updated at its absolute chaos and will be until 2020

I can't disagree under normal circumstances but sometimes needs must as mine were that occasion but I had a solution. In an ideal world with planning but we don't all live in an ideal world and planning can go awry quickly but it's just a tip, not a compulsory stop.

The park n ride at Trumpington allows motorhomes, we used it last year. (the only one around Cambridge). Worth checking out if they allow overnight.

Just looked at the website, and it says height restriction 2.1m, So, presumably height barriers?

The Dolphin Hotel in St Ives allows you to overnight if you have a meal/drink. Near river and there is a park and ride in StI.

When we used it last, they send taller vehicles down a filter lane. Worth phoning them to see if its still available. I just phoned them and the office is closed until 8am Monday. Tel 0345 045 5213

The answer about availability is at https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/questions-about-parking#highside
Although overnight parking is allowed, camping is not.

Not wild camping but there is a cracking little National Trust campsite at Houghton Mill near Huntingdon. Just on the edge of the village by the river and within walking distance of two nice pubs and a village shop. Lovely dog walking areas around too.
