Victoria Park, Fielding
Came here after Palmerston North was full.
It was easy to access. It is a car park for the sports ground. Pretty quiet considering the proximity to road. No signage. It is on a gradient. Seemed to do the trick.

Monkey Island, Orepuki
Two drop toilets and a shelter for washing/cooking etc.
Amazing beach views. Plenty of space but it seemed to be a popular spot. Facilities to throw rubbish. Definitely our favourite freedom camping at the half way point in our trip! Had a really nice vibe and a great sunset. Well signposted.

South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
Diamond Lake (Wanaka)
Essentially a car park at start of Diamond Lake walk with surrounding mountain views.
Could accommodate a lot of vans. Basic drop toilet. Well signposted and easy to access with big van. Quiet spot. There were around 7 vans in early November when we stayed. Not too far from Wanaka and there are limited spots for freedom camping in Wanaka.
