Andrews Shelter Campsite
4.0/5
Still a free camp, close to a small shelter.
You have to drive on a gravel road for 15min and though a small bridge. If it’s raining a lot you may have one or two small fords to cross. We’ve been two vans yesterday. No toilets, it’s just a 3 vans space next to the gravel path. No gasp problem for us because it was raining and I guess they left already in may.

North Beach Car Park
2.5/5
IMPORTANT : the regulation changed!
The 3 parkings in this map are now forbidden and it’s clearly written by a no parking sign! We saw a lot of vans parked despite the sign. They are exposed to a 200$ fine. But there are lots of parking along the same road when you can park for free. You have to check the freecamp map on the city’s website and you will see in green the free zone!!

Brighton Domain
1.5/5
Oh Dunedin, you really don’t like your backpackers… 5:30pm, both of the other free camps were already full, we had to go to this one for a third night.
A ranger came apparently at 2:30am and we got a 200$ fee. COME ON. Make your free camps a bit bigger or add some but 200$ when you provide so few places for the self contained…!
