A code of conduct for camper vans and motorhomes is to be introduced in Co Kerry.
It comes after councillors raised the issue of a large number of vehicles being parked at Kenmare Pier.
A meeting of Kenmare Municipal District in Killorglin heard that the local pier was 'choc-a-bloc’ with vans overnight, as there was no camping park in the town.
The council is now set to follow the example of Co Donegal and bring in a code of conduct after a call by Waterville Councillor Norma Moriarty.
The Ring of Kerry region was the destination now for "a considerable cohort" of camper vans, the Fianna Fáil councillor said.
A code such as Donegal had adopted earlier this month was needed to facilitate their visit "with helpful advice and information on what to do and what not to do".
This was to protect the surroundings as well as help people enjoy their visit, she said.
Independent councillor Dan McCarthy said that so many camper vans were parked at the Kenmare Pier, which is a popular seaside walkway in the town, that locals were complaining there was no space for them to park.
He said he had received numerous calls and had gone to view the situation himself and found them lined up at the pier.
The cost of car rental and hotels had led to people renting camper vans which provided both transport and accommodation all in one, Mr McCarthy said.
He said people were converting ordinary vans to sleep in overnight in scenic areas and that regulation and a network of camper van parks was now urgently needed.
"Twenty-five to thirty camper vans are now at the pier in Kenmare," he said.
"We need regulation. There needs to be facilities," Mr McCarthy said.
It was the second time the issue with camper van parking in Kenmare had been raised.
The council has agreed now to look at developing a code as part of its tourism review.
As in Donegal, such a code in conjunction with Fáilte Ireland, will advise where to park, and where to eat and on disposal of waste as well as the location of bring banks.
