[Herman]

Does anybody know or have recently used the carpark in Chester that is marked as a wild camp, looking an google and the signage just says £5 for more than 6 hours.

Thanks, Ken.

Plenty of previous threads if you search. Here is the council's webpage on it, scroll down to the sign giving the charges..

Chester Tourist - The Little Roodee

We stay there regularly and have no problems. Read the post link below. Last time we were there they was a few abusing it and getting parking tickets. The best parking spots are the larger bays be the side of the river but be careful of the overhanging trees. Great location and lots to do in Chester.

I stayed there last year and was stung for £9 odd but couldnt work out why because the amount didnt equate to any of the possible combinations on the price board!

unless you absolutely want to spend the night in chester town center there are a couple of nearby pubs who are happy to let you park up for free (there is at least one in the pub stopover page)

Stayed last night (Sunday) and it was all very straightforward .

Arrived 17.30 and parked 8m Hobby in a single bay with the rear axles on a concrete area, first row in from the river. I called the control from the pay station and asked if that set up was ok by them and there were no objections. The bays along the riverside were taken but there's only one that would have suited us and that was in a poor state so we will go for the main parking area in future. Left today just before 14.00 and the grand total was £7.50. As for emptying a cassette, I saw no way of doing it although the disabled loo outside the cafe was locked with a notice saying the loos were available only when the cafe was open but I wouldn't be happy if I was tucking in to my full english and someone trots in with a container full of hobgoblins.

I will do a s someone suggested and send the council a valedictory email. I might even try flying a kite with regard to having access to an inspection cover or something to tip off the loo.

Cheers

just missed you as I left 15:00 lol. Grand bill of £17:40 not bad for city location. Toilets open during the day in cafe so negates the use toilet for most of the time. Went to the real ale festival. Cracking day. There was a traffic warden patrolling sunday morning - no tickets issued to anybody as how can you buy 2 tickets for double parking - impossible!
