Central space to park in Te Puke.
The atmosphere is a bit strange as a lot of people comes and goes all night long. Toilets are open till 9 pm but wasn’t open when we left in the morning, which was a bit annoying.
Good to stay one night I would say.
Each camping location is approved by a regional council in NZ. So if it shows on the map, you’re allowed to stay.

Good overnight spot, easy to find. very quiet most of the time and almost every night we were the only ones there, so it's a good alternative compared to the other, busier (and noisier) ones in the area. Toilet closes at 9 (winter time) and 10 (summer timer).

This Freedom Camping area is slightly better than a couple of other local Te Puke offerings, but the gravy is only a stones throw away. It's worthwhile taking the short drive east, to the coast, for better options.
