The issue
Cyngor Gwynedd councillor Cai Larsen said there has been a rise in campervans parking in inappropriate places and called on the council to act. A motion will be tabled at the council meeting on 24 September.
Where problems are reported
- Llyn Padarn (Llanberis): eight official Arosfan spaces are overcrowded.
- Hirael Bay (Bangor): after the entrance was widened and a height restriction removed, large motorhomes occupied the popular Beach Road East car park; the council urged responsible parking and promised to reinstate the height barrier after works are completed.
- Coastal area north of Dinas Dinlle and Lake Bala.
Cost and position
Gwynedd Council has four dedicated Arosfan sites for overnight motorhome parking costing £16.50 per night. The motion acknowledges the contribution of motorhome tourists to the economy but raises concerns about pressure on sensitive areas and a lack of enforcement resources.
