Good location for free camping. Toilets were okay. Good enough for 1 night stay. Calm.

We turned up l0pm a few spots available. Nice and clean and quiet although we were up early so hopefully we were quiet enough. Perfect place for a sleep.

This was the first free campsite we stayed in and we were so happy with it! The toilets are clean, there is a washing up station and the site isn’t too cramped. Overall a great place to spend the night! Also it’s in a perfect location if you’re travelling along the west coast from Auckland -> South as it’s 3 minutes off the motorway.

Really great place to stay overnight, toilets really clean and somewhere to wash up. Lots of spaces too! Just have to put your donation in so really good value :D

The best Freedom Camping site as there was power! Only required a donation of $5 per site. Clean toilets, washing up space and power. An absolute bargain. The only free site we have come across with power in north and south island. If you want to see what it looks like, you can watch our video review on youtube, just search the camp site name and 'The Flip Flop Family'
Happy Camping from The Flip Flop Family

PROS
+ loads of spaces (we were about 30 and it wasn't even half full)
+ lots of garbage bins
+ clean bathrooms
+ drinkable water
+ easy accessCONS
- not a lot of privacy since it's a parking lot (we didn't mind it, people were respectful)
- no showersTIPS
* It's located up the hill, if you get there and it's dark, it isn't in from of the first empty field you are going to find, it is up the hill to the right.

Great large car park with clean toilets a dog park and nice town within walking distance. Large vehicle access, dump station and playground for kids in town. Donation box at entrance so worth putting a few dollars in if you can to support the locals who keep the place clean.

Winter review: We stayed here by chance as the foggy weather made it impossible to drive further. A bit hard to find but it's exactly as described- an area to park for the night with flushing toilets. Was a bit strange in the morning when we were woken by a rugby match happening outside - the locals thought it strange we were there too. Overall - good for a pit stop, but definitely not somewhere to seek out.

Nice quiet car park at a Rugby field. Very easy to find and has clean toilets. A donation box is located at the entry to the car park :)

Just a parking and a little bit of grass. But free. Easy to find. Toilets and sink really clean.

Loved the site, we stayed for two nights as it's easy to find. There are clean toilets with sinks, soap and toilet paper, an outside tap with drinkable water l. It's basically just a large field of grass but spacious enough to park where you want.
