Store Mosse national park is a well-visited tourist destination. During the summer, our car parks quickly fill up, which can make it difficult to find a parking space. It is important to keep in mind then that national parks have their own regulations which state, among other things, that it is forbidden to park outside designated roads and parking lots.

This year is the first year that we have a parking company that helps us keep the order. In previous years, we have had parking chaos which meant that buses, the emergency services and our own staff couldn’t do their work. So we appeal to you visitors to follow the signs where you may park.

We have left all signage to the parking company. If you receive a traffic ticket that you think is unfair, you must appeal to the parking company. You can reach Smart Park via the number (+46)771 80 88 80.

If the main car park is full, you can try to park at one of the other entrances to the national park.

• Östra Rockne
• Kittlakull
• Kävsjö
• Södra Svänö
• Häradsö
• Kvarnö
• Lövö
• Björnekullen
• Andersberg

During summer, we have a lot of visitors in the park and the parkinglots get crowded easily. If you have the possibility, leave your car at home and take the bike or bus to the park. You can read more about how to get to the park here.

You can also visit the park earlier in the morning or in the evening. Then, you have an even greater chance to explore the wildlife, as the animals are more active during these times.

Since the pandemic, the number of mobile homes has increased and our parking lots are undersized in relation to the number of visitors we have today. During the summer, we can have over a thousand visitors in one day at the main entrance.

Neither the staff nor the facilities are sufficient to meet the needs that arise when we have a stopover. We have difficulty dealing with the consequences in the form of parking chaos, garbage disposal and emptying of latrines. In the end, it becomes both a safety and work environment issue when the car parks get too full.

Unfortunately, with our current budget for protected nature, we also have no opportunities to increase either the parking spaces or the staff.

Our existing parking lot therefore needs to be for people who want to visit the National Park and we hope that more local entrepreneurs see it as an opportunity to meet the needs of motorhome tourists!

However, motorhome tourists are welcome to use the parking lot just like other motorists when visiting the national park during day time. The only thing is that the stopover possibillity is removed.

The possibility to spend the night in the national park is still available in form of pitching a tent, and stay in the hostel, see link below. In addition, there are camp sites, bed and breakfasts and hotels nearby the park.
