Hi Helen, please use google earth to find there is some part of the car park which is either designated for or just naturally occupied by a campers/motorhomes, so car park is capable for a bigger vans but I am not sure whether they will allow you to stay overnight. Not really a problem if they close it down at certain time and then open in the morning but it’s about the permission. Please notice that this car park is free to use and they did not ask for buying a parking ticket, so the control over what’s going on the car park is pretty limited by the museum administrators. I hope it helps, Kriss.
