Caravan Transport in Devon
Looking for caravan transport in Devon? Devon's coastline spans two distinct coasts — the rugged North Devon coast and the gentler South Devon riviera. Both are packed with caravan parks, but the narrow lanes, steep hills, and tight village streets make specialist transport knowledge critical for static caravan moves.
Caravan Parks in Devon
Devon works two coasts at once — the rugged, hilly North Devon shore around Woolacombe and the gentler South Devon riviera around Torbay — plus Exmoor-edge sites inland. The split matters because the two coasts are reached by entirely different routes once you leave the M5.
Popular Devon parks include Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park, Beverley Holidays (Goodrington), Ladram Bay Holiday Park, Cofton Holidays, and Stowford Farm Meadows — all served by our caravan transport network of verified, specialist movers.

Width (10ft vs 12ft), distance and route complexity all affect the price, and a 12ft static typically costs around 20% more than a 10ft model. The surest way to a real figure for your move is to compare quotes from multiple transporters.
Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Devon
The county's notifying authority is Devon & Cornwall Police. The M5 to Exeter is straightforward; after that North Devon (A361) and South Devon (A380/A3022) diverge, and both feed into narrow lanes with steep gradients and tight bends. A 10ft caravan opens up routes a 12ft cannot take, so width drives the plan.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Devon & Cornwall Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Devon
- Are Devon roads suitable for static caravan transport?
- Many Devon roads are narrow with steep gradients and tight bends. Experienced Devon caravan transporters know which routes work for different caravan widths. A 10ft caravan has more route options than a 12ft model. Discuss access to your specific park before booking.
- Is there a difference in cost between North and South Devon?
- Costs are similar for local moves. The main cost difference comes from distance — a caravan moved from the Midlands to Woolacombe (North Devon) travels a different route than one to Torquay (South Devon). The M5 to Exeter is the common route, then routes diverge. Your transporter will quote based on the specific destination.
- Is my caravan insured during transport to Devon?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Devon carry goods-in-transit insurance covering your caravan during loading, transit, and unloading. Cover levels vary between £50,000 and £250,000 depending on the transporter — ask to confirm their policy limits before booking, and get written confirmation of cover if your caravan is worth more than the standard limit.
