This document contains an end-of-season report for 2022 on managing visitors in Cairngorms National Park. Feedback from ranger services and land managers shows that visitor numbers were back to pre-pandemic levels, with the Cairngorms and Glenmore area remaining a hotspot for traffic, parking, and camping issues. Car park improvements at Loch Muick have helped alleviate parking problems. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) Ranger Service, with 15 ranger services, works with partners to welcome visitors and protect the park. A summer campaign on Facebook and Instagram reached 1.8 million people with messages on parking, dog walking, and camping, and will inform future visitor information and behaviour change campaigns.
