A 9 is pretty justified here. We actually spent 5 nights in total here due to its convenience. Only 4 nights are allowed in a calendar month, so we lucked out by the month change. Get there early as it gets full mid afternoon, although there are many spaces. Toilets are a short walk, but only 2, which for the amount of campers was a bit less. Fresh water and dump station. Bus routes close by, as well as your usual supermarkets. Swim centre and library both in the near, so win win.

As others have said, super convenient for ferries and to see Wellington. Excellent aquatic center and toilet/water/dump station nearby. Packed; got a spot at 3pm only b/c someone was leaving.

Very convenient for ferry crossing & city providing your active & mobile, we walked into the city over Victoria view / through the tunnel it’s about 4-5 km & steep gradient, went to see the warriors at the national museum, lovely cosmopolitan vibrant city, took the oriental bay / Evans bay walk back to camper park which follows the harbour much flatter but longer walk about 7-8 km but the views are worth it. Camper park has more parking than indicated on app but still fills up quickly due to location but on site toilets & facilities are good great if heading out on early ferry crossing or want to explore the city

+ Harbourview (beautiful sunrise)
+ Walkingdistance Mt.Victoria (30 min up)
+ Walkingdistance Pac'n'Save (15 min) which is open till 11pm
+ Busstops (2 and 24) to city close by (had to look and ask to find)
+ Clean-ish toilets, dumpstation (2) and drinkingwater
+ It's free, it's in the city, close to WETA, airport, ferry's
- Only early arrival (before noon) is rewarded in peakseason. We arrived late januari at 3pm and got last spot.
+/- Crowded, but cozy we're-in-it-together-and managed-to-find-a-spot feel in an odd way.
- It's a parkinglot next to the highway

You have to be there early, it fills up really fast! It‘s nice, right next to the water, bus stop 2 min away. Toilets were clean! Totally recommanded!

Great place to stay for free near the city.
Do not let the aerial photo in this app fool you, the place to freedom camp is north of the Vollunteer Coastguard building, with plenty of places to stay.
Noice from the nearby airport is OK, the 2 toilets are just south of the Vollunteer building.

Very easy acces to the city, several buses stops at 5 min. Can be very windy though. Many places in front of the road and few in front of the sea.
Perfect to explore the city by foot, without wondering about parking and traffic.
10 dollars to go with an uber late at night.
Self contained only.

We didn’t show up until 10-11pm. The lot was jam packed. We squeezed in though. Bathrooms were a short walk away and clean.

Easy acces to the city by bus, takes about 30 minutes (nr. 2 and nr. 24). We arrived around 3 pm and the carpark was filling up fast, so get there in time. 2 public toilets at the end of the carpark. Street noise wasn't to bad, bring some earplugs just in case.

Arrived late from the late ferry, car park was as full. We found a spot, squeezed in. We however allegedly distrupted other campers and were soon told so. We were however not noisy, the parks are very close together. Also be mindful the car park is on a main road so very noisy all night and morning. Also note the toilets are some distance away.

Pretty great camping for a city as big as Wellington. Plenty of space, it got quite full but not completely. Library nearby w. Free WiFi open until 8. 40-50 minute walk or 7 minute drive into the city. Toilets a 2 minute walk from the sites. There's also a large swimming pool w. showers, saunas, hot pools etc. Pacnsave+countdown a short walk away. The aerial picture displayed on here is the wrong location.

03Oct18, 1 night before departing on the ferry to Picton.
Space for quite a few campers but no specific spaces for longer ones. Ours is 7.7m so took 2 spaces. There are few options for this.
Anyhow, it’s free and the public toilets are good although not open until 8.30am.
A long walk to the city centre but do-able for walkers.
Traffic noise most of the night and the planes kick in fairly early in the morning. Ear plugs recommended. Debated whether to give 9 or 10 points. Dropped the 1 because of noise.
Make sure you get to the dump station early enough to queue and get to the ferry in time.
As we were leaving there were some guys marking out for new white lines. Perhaps someone with a later update can give details of what the result is.
