Fine for a night and because there is not much around...
It's pretty noisy next the a busy road even at night and the public toilet is quite far. You need to cross the road first which didn't feel nice at night... Ok for one night.

Next to the highway - very noisy, but the carpark is spacious and feels safe.
Clean public toilets (three cubicles) just across the highway. The town centre is a few minutes away by foot. More campers here than at the Kinzett Ave carpark.

Just a gravel car park off the main road.
Lots of space unlike the other free one a little further down which only has 4 spaces... no toilets or anything but 10 mins walk and your in the town centre which is good. We went to town and had some dinner and then went back and weren’t really disturbed by any road noise.

We pulled into Kinzett terrace car park first before moving onto here as the freedom camping spots there were to small to fit a big camper.
Still felt a bit dodgy here but stayed as did a few other vans without any trouble. Was a lot of noise from the highway though so bring earplugs
