7 vans last night and one went early, so I noticed the sign where he had parked...we have our own designated area at the far end of the car park by the station at a cost of £4 per night. There is an attended toilet block at the town end, graffiti free and clean for 20p, but a separate cubicle is left open overnight. Restaurants, pubs and shops are five minutes away and a Spar stays open late. My phone satnav doesn't give co-ordinates, but it's the large car park behind the station.

Yep that bloody dyke is not doing the job.

There's English buggers spilling over the border at an alarming rate.

I have been there 3 times in the back of a lorry.

Got caught each time. :sad:

The long straight down the A5 past the big Hotel is a favourite spot for speed cameras. They step out of the hedgerow when they see a gap in the traffic & the next car gets done! The traffic is invariably doing 40-ish in a 30 zone so if you leave a gap for safety you will get a ticket, bless 'em. :scared:

Nice spot as car parks go & there are a few others in the general area around Snowdonia, N Wales, that could be treated the same way if that one is successful, so let's hope they don't attract too many litterbugs & idiots!

And well done BigPetee!

Already on the case.

They got upset when I requested their equal opportunities and discrimination policies, plus costings etc.

I'm on their radar as a complainant.

BTW, Equal opportunities and discrimination does seem to upset them!! Especially as they are breaking their own policies, my local councillors in Conwy now believe that they are breaking the councils own policies by direct discrimination towards motorhomes, keep on trying!!

AND..... There's a free JAZ night over the road in the Royal Oak every Thursday.. JAZRAG play a mix of trad/blues and a little modern, brilliant!! and the foods good too!

 

[rugbyken]

Stayed here last night still all as above great facility but still one t### takes the piss pulled in near me after 7 didn't get a ticket gone when I got up after 8,
What chance of getting more like this when it's being abused just hope they realise some will always do this and not class all the same,
No objection to layby parking for free but if you use a provided facility only fair to pay a reasonable charge £4???

I too have been campaigning around this area of North Wales for ages. I wonder which is best, lots of separate individuals, or should therebe a co-ordniated campaign in areas which are more amenable?

Apologies for typos, got a black lab on my knee! lol

Stopped over here last night. There were 2 other vans. One went quite early this morning.
As we went to sort out our ticket, a welsh lady from one of the vans told us not to bother as she has stopped there several times and has never bothered paying "as nobody ever comes to check". We felt it was still better to pay, although there was nothing about an overnight charge, only "4 hourly" or "daily". Didn't matter anyway, because none of the machines would accept any money. They must shut down after a certain time.
We got a ticket first thing in the morning to cover the time we were there.

It is s lovely place to stop over. Good pubs, with good food. And dogs are very welcome in many pubs and shops!

Well done Pete. A superb place for m/h's that was lost for a while due to the actions of the delusional local camp site owner. We didn't need to do the protest group camp after all then!

Stayed here last night and happy to put £4 into meter to help maintain this excellent overnight parking spot in a lovely town.
Can confirm that there is a specific area for motorhomes at the far end of the car park.

 

[bopper]

Stayed in there last September, the spot for MHs was there then. During the evening 3 other vans joined us and 2 of them were very friendly. I did tell them about this community but don't know if they joined us. Maybe they might read this.
It is truly a great place to visit.

Just used this for the last two nights with my dogs, with out any problems,there were a couple of other overnighters. I paid the £4 per day charge but by the look of it most of the cars parking for the day don't bother, is this because it's a private car park owned by snowdon parks authority and they are unable to issue fines?
