Upton on Severn stopover, any good?

[rosalan]

Has anyone stayed the night at this large facility? Campercontact seems unsure about Motorhomes stopping over.

If its the car park on the south side of the river they banned overnighting a few years ago as blue badge holders in Motorhomes were taking the piss.

Edit:
Just checked that is the one.

I have stayed several times overnight when attending the Malvern show. Yes it states no overnighting. This was not enforced as of last Summer.

Searchforsites has this info for Upton-Upon-Seven.

Malvern Hills District Council have introduced a new Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) that now permits motorhomes to park, and stay overnight - no camping activities allowed

Up to 1 Hour 50p
Up to 2 Hours £1.00
Up to 4 Hours £2.00
4 Hours plus £3.00
7 days £9.00

And a review from July:
Well what can a say what a lovley little town to stay in as a half way point for us we paid £3.00 for the carpark for 24 hours their was about 6 other campers staying the same night too. We had a good walk around the town a few pints and a lovley chinese to take out. It was a good spot for one night to stay there is trucks who use this carpak too so expect to be woke up about 5 in the mornig but we where ok about that for a early set off. The toilets are public so dont expect the ritz lol happy camping people

We live about 4 miles from here. I had never really thought about whether it is actually permitted to overnight there but had assumed it wasn't clamped down on as there are usually a couple of vans there whenever we go past, which is quite often. It is used by truckers too as someone has said and is definitely very much a car park, next to the municipal tip too, so I wouldn't be wanting to get my deckchair out. However, it is tidy and it is close to the town and river. Upton is a nice little town for a pootle around and there are some nice bars and restaurants. Bit lacking for food shops but there is a very small co-op and another corner-shop type grocery store.

Excellent bike shop too. Looks very old fashioned but has everything. Not overnighted but parked there. Very convenient

Missed the pre-booking for the show. Assuming the weather is ok we will probably be there Friday, first time out in the new Autocruise.

The curry house on the east side of the high street is good.
Been to the jazz festival there about ½doz times.

you can stay by the river at Ross on Wye (if you can get a space) if not Ross Rowing club you can also 'hide' behind Labels at Ross but near to the truckstop
