Hi can anyone recommend best services to use for caravans on our 3 regular motorways above. We are reluctant to stop now after some difficult past situations so would be good to know the good ones. Thanks

    For M6 Tebay service station is well liked.

    For M62 and M40 the services are nothing special but stop if you must and if there is room, though there are alternatives if you leave the motorway

    We have used the Oxford Services on the M40 a couple of times. Caravan/Motorhome parking is on one side of the Coach parking area. Only downside with a caravan is the you will either have to reverse in or reverse out as they make use of the previous coach parking bays. Other than that the parking is very close to the facilities.

    The "best" services we have stopped at on M62 have been at Ferrybridge. When we had a caravan we usually found space at the bottom of the car park, some designated spots there.

    Best on M6 is Tebay in Cumbria but it's not as good as the Tebay on M5.

    Warwick Services Northbound on the M40 are OK, you park in with the HGVs, it does depend what time and day you are pulling in there though. Warwick services southbound not as good and struggled to find a space
