It will now cost £10 a day to stay in Noble’s Park with a campervan.
Douglas Council says it’s introducing a ‘motorhome site’ with the vehicles allowed to stay for four consecutive nights.
The parking area will not be available to use during the TT and Manx Grand Prix and long term storage and awnings won’t be allowed.
Initially facilities will include drinking water and a chemical toilet emptying point but the council says it’s also looking into options for electrical hook up points and grey water disposal.
Councillor Andrew Bentley, Chair of the Regeneration and Community Committee said: “These measures represent a significant step forward in providing facilities for motorhomes in the capital and promoting the Isle of Man as a welcoming destination for all visitors.
“Douglas City Council is committed to ensuring that Noble’s Park remains an attractive and accessible location for all, and these improvements are a testament to that commitment. The provision of overnight motorhome and campervan parking fits with the leisure and recreational ethos of the park.
“Set in the picturesque surroundings of Noble’s Park, visitors can enjoy a sea view and the tranquillity of the park while still having easy access to the city’s amenities and attractions. With good public transport links and the seafront just a 15-minute walk away, Noble’s Park is the perfect base for exploring the Isle of Man.”
