Parking with car, mobile home, caravan and bus
The Store Mosse car parks are supervised by a parking company. This is how you park correctly:
- Pay attention to the signs' information about vehicle type, parking direction and times.
- Regular passenger car? Use parkings marked Klass I.
- Park your car in the right direction according to the signs, and don’t park outside the designated area.
- Do you have sleeping facilities in the car? Park on mobile home parking even if your car is a campervan or a modified personal car. If a parking lot is full, drive to another parking lot – there are several.
- Parking is free as long as you park correctly.
Overnight parking
Class 1 passenger cars may park overnight in the parking lots in the national park, provided that the car is parked correctly.

- Class 2 – a car that is permanently fitted with a body designed as living quarters and equipped with;
- fixed sleeping accommodation (which may consist of seats convertible into beds),
- fixed cooking and storage equipment, and
- a table.
