3.5/5
According to the council website this is definitely the freedom camp, no markings nor signs, but website confirmed it!
We stayed a night, was absolutely fine.

3.5/5
We freedom camped here for one night with no problems (toilets 3 mins down the road and a little stinky).
Lots of people around as it was Saturday (likely an event in the building across the road). Woke up to tons of rowers getting ready all smiles and fun music playing. We felt like we were invading their space so we cooked breakfast elsewhere. We feel lucky the community is willing to share such a lovely spot with travellers :)
Parking here is really confusing because there is no signage anywhere. The Porirua City website says 3 motorhomes are allowed in this location for up to 3 nights, but there are no designated spots.

Quiet.
Was ready for loud youths, but the wind and rain kept everyone away. Ended up with a nice spot, a few other campers. Nice access to drinking water. Bathrooms nearby but not in a great state. Close to ferry, not that we used it.

4.0/5
Nice spot we chose before taking the ferry (20-25min drive) because Wellington was full.
They now put up a sign where you can park and where not.
You can hear the road a little bit but we slept quite well. :-)
