Article in the Daily Post here: https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/first-overnight-site-motorhomes-opened-28862988
This is Gwynedd Council's attempt at providing places for motorhomes to park up overnight, given that they're banning them from everywhere else and not everyone wants to use a camp site. Had a quick look last night since I was in Criccieth anyway. As the article says, it's £16.50/night for max 2 nights. For that you get a space on some tarmac. There's a fence between you and the railway line and some coaches parked up in the corner. You can just about see the Castle! On the way in is an "Aires Services" unit which looks very much like ones we saw in France. You can dump grey waste and empty toilets for free and you can pay for fresh water. This isn't linked to the parking spaces. There's also a sign which basically says "Don't enjoy yourself!" Wouldn't be my cup of tea but the emptying facilities may be useful.
BTW 'arosfa' is Welsh for 'a stop' - can you see what they did there??

Visited the one in Criccieth yesterday (I was in town anyway) no MHs or campers! 8 spaces with a huge yellow hatched 6mr "exclusion zone" around each one. I'm sure it will seem strange almost comical to our Gallic cousins who would squeeze several dozen into the same space. £16.50 a bit steep 2 nights max, and the ambiguous signing suggests you have to vacate during the day????

A Bourne (still under wrap) for dumping soil and hose point for potable water (£3 for 10 minutes).

A big easily accessible drive over for dumping grey water. No bins or skips in evidence.
