Decent spot for overnight stay.
Just a big gravel space. Didn’t use the toilets that were available but there were toilets there. Was pretty full when we visited (early Nov) but felt pretty unregulated. Patchy phone signal (we found it ok) and 3 huge potholes as you enter the gravel lot (beware if arriving late). No dodgy characters or anything like that.

Next to the road and quite a few campervans parked.
Pit toilets are clean and reportedly cleaned daily. Perfect for a quick stopover, close to Wanaka

Lots of space, lots of campers.
Felt very safe, approx 10 mins from Wanaka. Toilets are 1 minute walk from the campground. There is toilet paper, there is no running water. Be mindful of the huge pothole at the entrance.
Late evening and night no noise from the road.

A big parking lot, lots of room for 30+ campers, including big RVs.
Close to an intersection of 2 roads, so a bit noisy.
Has toilets, but they are not flush.

The nearest freedom camp to Wanaka.
Simple gravel ground and two long drop toilets. 15min drive to town. Plenty of spaces but fills up quickly in the evening.

Big parking, lot's of campervans so you can feel safe.
Dump toilets but modern and cleaned daily, with toilet paper. Close to road but it's not too busy, almost no traffic at night. No water provided at the area, and no benches or tables. It's a free campsite, and as one, it's really good one imo, better than some cheap paid ones in the area.
