In Brief
Campervans keep getting stuck on the narrow road to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, sparking calls for a ban. Meanwhile, Rhyl residents oppose a plan to turn a green space into a motorhome parking lot, and a trial stopover on Anglesey draws complaints about unsanitary conditions.
Campervans continue to get stuck on the narrow road to the 73-metre Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall in the Berwyn mountains. This is not the first such incident in 2026, prompting calls to ban motorhomes from using the route. The road is too narrow for large vehicles, especially during peak hours.
In Rhyl (Denbighshire), local residents have opposed the council's plan to turn a green seafront space into a motorhome parking lot. They argue the area is important for recreation and spoils the sea view. The council plans to create six sites across the county (including Rhyl and Prestatyn) with a maximum two-night stay, water and waste disposal access, and payment via app or machine. The project is funded by the Welsh and UK governments.
A trial motorhome stopover at the Porth Tyn Tywyn car park on Anglesey has drawn complaints about smell and unsanitary conditions. Residents report toilet paper and faeces on footpaths and in dunes, despite the site being intended only for self-contained vehicles with their own facilities. The county council confirmed the trial period is under review.
