This is probably the best free camp spot in Christchurch.
It’s right next to the beach and surrounded by grass areas. There is drinking water and a cold outdoor shower right beside the camping area. There is also a toilet and shower block 50 meters away.
To get here you need to drive to the end of Broadpark Road and turn right through the gate. Camping is prohibited in the other surrounding areas.

The camping pitches are tiny which makes the place feel overcrowded.
The kitchen and showers are very outdated and not particularly clean. But I guess the location is good if you want to be near the city.

Easily the best campsite I’ve stayed at in NZ yet.
Very well kept campground with lots of space and immaculate kitchens / toilets / showers.
