Was ok until parking warden gave us a 40 dollar ticket for being 1/2 an hour over the 8 am time limit no warning just slinked in an put it on our windscreen and ran we asked why but he had this self entitlement attitude and left I can see why no other vans were here there were 50 odd free parks at this time of the morning. I work for a council in the north island and I’d be ashamed of that type of attitude if he worked for us, officer 58.

Great freedom camping spot in the middle of Nelson for self contained campers. Well done Nelson council. Right by timezone. Stayed Friday night but was pleasantly suprised by the lack of noise after 11pm.

Even though it was just a car park, we really liked it there. Other campervans around you, Walking distance to town, toilets and public showers to pay in walking distance. We spent New Years Eve there.
