Pkeased with this location to access train for daytime travel.
Peaceful considering when you realise how busy it can be with local activities around.
Can be windy.

It's a good spot, it's free but very busy.
But directly at the lake and toilets close by.

Good spot with nice view.
Lots of space but very few are level. Toilets are just ok, fresh water, rubbish. If you come during the weekend expect noise after 7:30am because of sports games, kids etc. Close to a supermarket by foot

A nice place, the rules were a bit unclear.
It said only 3 vehicles but there were so so many people pulled up in any area they could fit so unsure wether this is just standard procedure there

Great spot in front of a lovely scenery, lots of space (approx.
30 campervan/motor homes, maybe more), shaded by many trees.
A toilet block is nearby, cleaned every morning. The trash cans around the campsite could be emptied more often.
Rather quiet location as you cannot hear the road but you'll hear the trains coming from & to Wellington as well as some boats. On weekends, it get busier & a hall a few hundred meters away from the camp site can be noisy if rented to teenagers (as yesterday night ^^)
Not far from train station, grocery stores, shopping center, and a beautiful walk on the other side of the water!

We stayed here for two nights and it was lovely, beautiful water views and if it’s calm you’re lucky.
We had very heavy winds. Clean toilet. Find out more on caravantheworld

There are many places for camper vans (about 30 I'd say) as there is only a general area defined where to park.
Some of the are is not really flat so better get there early for a good spot. Toilets not the best, there is a fresh water fountain next to the toilets. Lovely spot by the beach but a little bit windy.

Lovely spot overlooking the water.
Lots of spaces there is a sign showing two very general areas where you can freedom camp. Toilets are basic. Got off the ferry late and went straight here.

Next to the highway, noisy and bright.
But only 20 minutes to the Picton ferry which we caught at 5 o’clock am. The campsite was very crowded.

It's basic but there's quite a lot of spaces so it's good if you arrive a bit later and couldn't find a spot higher up on the coast (as those have very limited spaces).
This states 5 sites but actually has much more. The only restriction is to stay in some areas defined on a board at the entrance (blue zones). Toilet are basic but were ok and not too far from the park area. Good for a night before taking the ferry in Wellington.

Great places, party at asphalt with lawn areas in front, overlooking the sea inlet.

Don’t be discouraged by the numbers they state online - there is signage at the spot but it doesn’t have a restriction on numbers - just areas you are allowed to park, and there is plenty.
Pretty windy spot and the public toilets nearby are very basic but functional. The channel in front of the parking area is very tidal and no good for swimming or fishing

Place is nice but quite noisy since its near the road and railway.
When we stayed at the campsite there were some locals parking at the foreshore and playing loud music til late. There is a public toilet around which was fine but a little dirty.
The campsite is alright if you are just staying for one night otherwise i would stay somewhere lese.

Busy stop off point maybe 20 motorhomes including a few big coach motorhomes but then it was Saturday night and it is very convenient for ferry terminal.
Certainly one of the windiest overnight stops we have been to. Great for access to the water for boating kayaking etc. Bonus is the BP fuel station nearby which has toilet dumping, waste recycle, and water.

Pkeased with this location to access train for daytime travel.
Peaceful considering when you realise how busy it can be with local activities around.
Can be windy.

It's a good spot, it's free but very busy.
But directly at the lake and toilets close by.

4.0/5
Good spot with nice view.
Lots of space but very few are level. Toilets are just ok, fresh water, rubbish. If you come during the weekend expect noise after 7:30am because of sports games, kids etc. Close to a supermarket by foot

A nice place, the rules were a bit unclear.
It said only 3 vehicles but there were so so many people pulled up in any area they could fit so unsure wether this is just standard procedure there

4.5/5
Great spot in front of a lovely scenery, lots of space (approx.
30 campervan/motor homes, maybe more), shaded by many trees.
A toilet block is nearby, cleaned every morning. The trash cans around the campsite could be emptied more often.
Rather quiet location as you cannot hear the road but you'll hear the trains coming from & to Wellington as well as some boats. On weekends, it get busier & a hall a few hundred meters away from the camp site can be noisy if rented to teenagers (as yesterday night ^^)
Not far from train station, grocery stores, shopping center, and a beautiful walk on the other side of the water!

We stayed here for two nights and it was lovely, beautiful water views and if it’s calm you’re lucky.
We had very heavy winds. Clean toilet. Find out more on caravantheworld
Safe travels

There are many places for camper vans (about 30 I'd say) as there is only a general area defined where to park.
Some of the are is not really flat so better get there early for a good spot. Toilets not the best, there is a fresh water fountain next to the toilets. Lovely spot by the beach but a little bit windy.

Lovely spot overlooking the water.
Lots of spaces there is a sign showing two very general areas where you can freedom camp. Toilets are basic. Got off the ferry late and went straight here.

Next to the highway, noisy and bright.
But only 20 minutes to the Picton ferry which we caught at 5 o’clock am. The campsite was very crowded.

It's basic but there's quite a lot of spaces so it's good if you arrive a bit later and couldn't find a spot higher up on the coast (as those have very limited spaces).
This states 5 sites but actually has much more. The only restriction is to stay in some areas defined on a board at the entrance (blue zones). Toilet are basic but were ok and not too far from the park area. Good for a night before taking the ferry in Wellington.

As stated previously there is a designated area but well over 20 vehicles could fit here.
Toilets open 24 hours, very basic and not very clean. Windy/ cold spot but stunning scenery/ views to wake up to, supermarket just a 10 minute walk away

Très bel endroit avec beaucoup d'emplacements disponibles.
Toilettes publiques et points d'eau potable.

Great places, party at asphalt with lawn areas in front, overlooking the sea inlet.
Public toilet 3 min. walking distance. Bring your own toilet paper.

3.5/5
Don’t be discouraged by the numbers they state online - there is signage at the spot but it doesn’t have a restriction on numbers - just areas you are allowed to park, and there is plenty.
Pretty windy spot and the public toilets nearby are very basic but functional. The channel in front of the parking area is very tidal and no good for swimming or fishing

Great place to park up very close to the water and wonderful views.
Toilets close and open all night. Very popular with other campers and safe. Water and dump station nearby at the BP petrol station.

Great spot to freedom camp for the night.
The water is mere meters from the carpark. There were toilets that were 3min walk away. Park for the kids right there also.

Place is nice but quite noisy since its near the road and railway.
When we stayed at the campsite there were some locals parking at the foreshore and playing loud music til late. There is a public toilet around which was fine but a little dirty.
The campsite is alright if you are just staying for one night otherwise i would stay somewhere lese.
-
3.5/5
Very busy, with wing-mirror to wing-mirror parking.
We got the last spot on arrival at about 5pm. Very convenient for the ferry (but double Google Maps estimated travel time if you're heading for the ferry, due to traffic and road maps). You'll need some levellers for your campervan unless you get lucky.

Convenient location 15 min from Wellington, nice place but toilets are shared with the sport fields nearby, so not clean really.
