Fife Coast & Countryside Trust backs responsible overnight parking

Fife Coast & Countryside Trust (FCCT) says it backs the responsible parking of campervans and motorhomes following a consultation about overnight parking in Fife.

FCCT has announced that it is to trial a parking charge scheme at Kingsbarns Beach and Elie Ruby Bay beach car parks.

Monies raised will be ringfenced to facilitate safe parking, extend the opening hours of public toilets and to create a network of chemical toilet disposal points.

A new toilet block with overnight facilities has already been installed at Kingsbarns and the installation of a new toilet block took place at Elie Ruby Bay in Spring 2023.

Motorhomes and campervans can park overnight at select FCCT car parks on a first-come, first-served basis with no awnings, pop-up toilet or any other type of tent, or camping cars are permitted.

A small charge for staying the night will apply at our participating car parks with the use of the onsite parking meter or honesty box.

Users who wish to stay overnight in a designated bay are of course allowed to use Fife Coast & Countryside Trust car parks during normal day-time hours in the same way any other visitor would.

If you are in a car park with parking meters and you haven’t got an overnight ticket the first 2 hours are free (at Limekilns Pier this is 3 hours) and all-day parking costs £2.
