Gwynedd Council in north Wales has launched a pilot network of four motorhome stopover sites called Arosfan. They are located in Cricieth, Llanberis, Pwllheli and Caernarfon near Snowdonia National Park (Eryri). The project is funded by the Welsh government and responds to a rise in wild parking by motorhomes. Rules require parking in the centre of the allocated bay to ensure at least 6 metres between vehicles, reducing capacity compared with standard sites. Access is limited to self-contained motorhomes with onboard toilets; external equipment, barbecues and camping activities are prohibited. The fee is £16.50 per night from 16:00 to 10:00, with a maximum of two consecutive nights and a seven-day gap before returning to the same site. Spaces are not reservable or transferable.
