  • The carpark is easy to find and also the acess to it.

    Hi All,

    On May 12th 2025 we were four campers/caravans and noneom was in the precise slot (normally there are 5 slots only). It's noisy, so don't aspect a nice place to stay.

  • Reason for 8/10 Its a carpark on the motorway, it is what it is.

  • Tip below the review..

    The carpark is very noisy, noisiest I have ever been to, as it‘s between a busy motorway and other streets, doesn‘t seem too safe, toilets 4-5 min walk away, the lots were relatively even, but under low trees…

    I would recommend to just park in the stadium street, next to the toilets.. there is also a water fountain and due to the freedom camping rules you can stay for two nights, also relatively quite, even at day

  • Pretty quiet spot just off the motorway.

    No facilities but there is a FIX nearby.
