Motorhome Parking at Supermarkets.

At the end of December 2006, requests were sent to the major supermarket chains asking if it would be possible to obtain details of their stores which it is possible (or not possible) for motorhomes to access, either by including a link to the company's own web site or incorporating a list of the stores on this web site. At the time of writing results have been variable as detailed below.

A word of warning. Before you leave your vehicle check to see if there are any notices in the car park displaying restrictions on parking - for example, time limits, parking within bays (including any ban on overhangs).

User Contribution: Some supermarkets with height barriers, if you ring ahead, they sometimes can lift up the barrier, so you can come in to do your shopping (Thanks to FD/RA for providing this information on 21 March 2007).
Contributions from users of the web site regarding individual branches of supermarkets have been included on the county pages with the council statements.

Aldi

Response to the request still awaited.
There is a store location search facility on the Aldi Web Site under "Where to find us" at the foot of the home page.

Asda

On 28th December 2006, Asda stated "We were very interested to hear your suggestion and have passed it onto the relevant team here at ASDA House who will look into the ethics of having this on our website.".
There is a store location search facility on the Asda web site Here.

Co-op

Response to the request still awaited.
There is no store location search facility on the Co-op Web Site.

Lidl

A representative of Lidl rang on 11th January to discuss the request for information. The details requested are not held centrally, have not been asked for previously and collating them could take quite a lot of work but the company will give consideration to making the information available at some time. Most car parks at stores on their own sites should be accessible but stores in shopping centres may not have their own car parks (and centre car parks may be multi-storey).
There is a store location search facility on the Lidl Web Site home page.

Morrisons

A very helpful representative of Morrisons rang on 9th January 2006 to discuss the request for information. Details requested were supposed to be provided within a couple of weeks but were never received.
There is a store location search facility on the Morrisons Web Site home page labelled "Store Finder".

Netto

Response to the request still awaited.
There is a store location search facility on the Netto Web Site under "Find your Netto" at the top of the home page.

Sainsburys

On 3rd January 2007, Sainsburys stated that "our car parks should not be used for overnight parking. However, If motor home users need to use them to do their shopping, we would advise them to call ahead to see if there is access room for vehicles of that size.".
There is a store location search facility on the Sainsburys web site Here.

Tesco

On 5th January 2007, Tesco stated "Most of our carparks are managed by outside companies. I am not aware of any restrictions apart from a time limit on parking. Their parking Terms & Conditions are displayed in the carparks."
There is a store location search facility on the Tesco web site Here.
User Contribution: You can camp overnight in any Tesco's if you ask the manager. This came about because the managing Director has a Motorhome and I was told of this and I and My friends in the MCC Kent group. Have tried it out and it has been OK. (Thanks to MN for providing this information on 16 November 2007).

Waitrose

Response to the request still awaited.
There is a store location search facility on the Waitrose web site Here.
