Overnight stop in athlone

Hi all. Does anybody have any experience of an overnight stop near or in athlone town. I have heard of using the council car park at the Hodson bay hotel. But on questioning this at the hotel ,was informed (by the helpful staff!!!) that there were sighns up ,not to park overnight. Can anybody confirm .
Thanks in advance. Cheers

motor homes welcome at coosan point just outside Athlone.

i see a lot of vans parked up near burgess park beside the golden island shopping center. the shopping center car park closes barriers at 11 pm, i'm not sure if they allow you to stay inside the locked barrier but there's plenty of room along side the car park.
it might be a case of parking in the car park during the day and moving out along side it when it gets quieter later on.

the mill pub in monksland also welcomes motor homes.

i see a lot of campers parked for the night in the B&Q car park. again don't know how official it is but plenty of space

You will be able to check out the review section now and down load the POI to your sat nav

If you want to download them onto a sat nav you need to get one that will allow the inport of files. The cheap truck navs on ebay and amzon are great but dont seem to offer this facility. You can get map software for free on Ipad and Android tablets which will allow it .
