Close to houses, rugby field, swimming pool.
There were other campervans too. Clean toilets were open cca until 9pm. Felt safe. 😊
-
OK for Municipal carpark.
Toilet well maintained and not too much noise at night. Can get noisy on a Saturday morning (soccer etc and generator from coffee cart) ditto weekday evenings. Shops etc not too far.
-
For basically a car park we felt super safe on a Saturday night.
Nice level spots, a water fountain and probably the nicest toilets I’ve ever seen. Ok some people come and go as it was a Saturday but nothing loud or noisy. Close to town and not far from Hamilton either. Great stop for 1 night - follow @milly0nthem0ve on IG/YT for all things travel

Good spot but TOILETS CLOSE DURING THE NIGHT.
The other public toilet in Hamilton is open during the night but 15 mins walking away
-
We were very satisfied with the whole facility.
There are a lot of pitches, including double ones for large campers. There were only two other cars on the site besides us, which is why it was very quiet. The toilets and garbage cans were cleaned and emptied on the morning of our departure. You can shower and swim in the swimming pool right next to it.
-
There is no sign indicating you can camp here overnight so I checked the website of the region.
Normally it's ok.
-
The camp is not very safe at nigtht, noisy with strange People and probably drug seller.
The only good thing is the clean toilets but do not worth it.
-
Car park easy to find.
I used this site as Hamilton had such bad reviews. Fully automated toilets, even the toilet roll dispenser. Disposal with easy access. I suspect the pool and playground make this site busier in the summer.

Beaucoup de place pour les vans avec des toilettes propres juste a côté.
Mais il y a pas mal de passage de voiture et le train est pas loin .
Pas un spot ouf, ça suffit pour une nuit

Toilettes propre.
Pas de douche.
Eau potable mais faible débit.
Possibilité de vidanger ses eaux usées.

Ont follow Google Maps, it will take you to a locked gate.
Uo to Cureton Rd, there is a campervan sign with the road sign, cant miss it. Great for kids with the park and pools too. Great little spot, excellent clean toilets and dump out facility, friendly locals making you feel welcome.

Great little spot to park for a night or two.
Toilets clean and seemed to be open all night. Playground super handy, nice bush walk around grounds.
-
This Freedom Motorhome camping site was great.
Quiet location with plenty of grassed areas nearby. Short walk to the town centre. The parking site is sealed and level. Toilets are clean and very modern. This site is completely free so thank you to the local council/people for providing this.
-
Not overly picturesque but for a car park you can still get a nice view, some privacy, have a swim and a shower to support the community, great toilets, friendly locals and the dump station is right there
too. Perfect camp site when you’re on your way trying to get to your destination and need a great and quiet place to rest your head.
Be a responsible camper so these facilities continue to be available and locals continue to support it.
-
A bit unromantic place.
It a parking area at the end of the village. But huge fields of grass around, good for a walk or some sports. If you need a place to sleep for a night, it’s absolutely ok, the toilets are clean and it is a quite area.
-
Make sure you park in the main car park where the toilets are and not down the private road to the right as the gates are locked at night.
Some noise from the trains but overall a good overnight stop with nice clean toilets.
Go and have a look at all the painted cows around the town - you can get a map from the iSite centre.

Arrived at this location at 9.30pm and the gates were closed and locked.
Maybe the local council supports freedom camping :(

Nous avons eu beaucoup de mal à trouver l'endroit.
c'est un parking dans une zone d'activités sportives (piscine, terrain de sport et parc). Il ,y a des toilettes et une dump station. Nous étions les seuls.
