Campground operators in Vågan municipality, Lofoten, have asked local authorities to prohibit overnight parking of motorhomes on municipal parking lots. The request follows repeated incidents where motorhome tourists use campground facilities (showers, toilets, gray water disposal) without paying, and park at campground barriers.
