  • Nice place We found a place here at 11 pm (in October) when the two free campsites in Wellington were full.

    Reviewed about 1 month ago

  • Emplacement tout proche de la gare, bien pratique pour aller dans Wellington quand on n'a pas envie de conduire le camping-car en ville.

    La vue est très belle sur la mer. Il y a une petite aire de jeux sympa pour les enfants et on est proche du lac et de ses sentiers.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
