East Riding
East Riding of Yorkshire Council provided the following information on 11th January 2008:
A list of the Council’s car parks and their locations can be found on the Council’s web site (see link below), as can the charging and coach park locations, which of course can also accommodate motor homes.
1. We do not have any off-street daytime parking spaces aimed especially at motor-homes/caravans but Hilderthorpe Road in Bridlington, which is the dedicated coach park, is easily able to accommodate motor-homes.
2. Motor-homes are welcome in any of our car parks which have no height restrictions if they can be parked within the marked parking bays or the coach parks. In all our pay and display car parks, all vehicles must park fully within the marked parking bays or they will receive a fine.
3. The Council’s record of which car parks have height restrictions are shown below:
Beverley - Lord Roberts Road, Grayburn Lane, School Lane, Trinity Lane, George Street and Butcher’s Row.
Bridlington – Palace, Beaconsfield, Stepney Grove, Belvedere (South Cliffe), Limekiln Lane and Sewerby.
Hornsea – Eastgate, Broadway, Sands Lane and Morrow Avenue.
Pocklington – Station (Rear) and West Green.
4. There are on-street daytime pay and display parking areas where it is likely a motor-home of not excessive size will fit into the parking bay and where there are no barriers as follows:
Beverley - North Bar Within and Norwood.
Bridlington - North Marine Drive and South Marine Drive.
5. We do not permit cooking at any time, camping or overnight parking for sleeping in any Council owned car parks.
East Riding of Yorkshire County Council have parking details/links for the county on their web site.

Hull City Council have further parking details on their web site Here and details of the park & ride site on their web site Here.
Users of this web site have provided the following information:
1) With respect to Hull parking, adjacent to the Priory Park Park and Ride near Hessle there is an overnight lorry parking facility with toilets, waste disposal, and electric hook ups are available, this is a secure compound and motorhomes are allowed at a cost of £8 for 24 hours. (Thanks to PK for this information, received on 9th January 2007).
2) Just a note to say we stayed at Hull Park & Ride - very friendly and helpful council staff - clean toilets and good value at £8 including electric hook up. (Thanks to SS for this information, received on 20th February 2009).
3) Having read about the Priory Park lorry park I've just asked the council about it and they stated: "At present motor homes are not permitted to park overnight at the Priory Park site, it is only available for lorry drivers." This seems to be at variance with what actually happens at the site, where people are told they can stay overnight.
I queried Hull City Council about the fact that motorhomes had been allowed to park overnight at the Priory Park lorry park in the past. They have just sent me an apology for incorrect information and confirmed that motorhomes are permitted to stay overnight! They also confirmed: Cost is £10, £2 of that being a refundable deposit for the entry card. Electric hook up is included. No waste water or toilet disposal facilities. Toilets and showers available. Trucks enter and leave at all hours so may be noisy at night.
