Cork County Council is in the process of identifying a number of sites throughout the county to develop serviced campervan/motorhome parks which could provide it with very lucrative income.

The first municipal-controlled site of its type in the country was developed by the council a few years ago in Cobh, and the revenue the local authority is generating is growing at a significant rate.
