Some hotels offer motorhome parking on a case-by-case basis, and charges may apply. These include:
Foyle Valley Railway Car Park
Address: Foyle Valley Railway Car Park, Foyle Road, Derry, BT48 6SQ
Tariff per hour: 50p
Charged Hours: 8:30 – 18:30 (Monday – Saturday)
Gates: Yes (Closing Time TBC)
Additional Considerations:
- Entrance/Exit – The entrance and exit for this car park use the same gate. This may result in congestion or manoeuvring issues for larger vehicles.
- Single Bay Use – This car park seems to use single bays for parking only. This removes the option for larger motorhome vehicles to park along two bays. However, these bays are suitable for some motorhomes.
