Fantastic freedom camping spot.
Very clean flushing toilets and 2 cold (but high pressure) showers. Only 2 spots available, so you need to get here as early as possible....honestly before the campers from the previous night leave. We arrived at 10am and somebody moved for us, 5 minutes later the next space was taken the same way. At least 20 freedom campers came and went whilst we were here. The council regularly check and people outside the spaces get fined, if you want to risk it you need to leave before 7am.
Great place to walk to New Chums, you can see why it's a popular site!

We camped further up the coast and watched the surfers and sunset.
Multiple fire pits have been made and there is plenty of driftwood around for a great evening fire. My favourite free site so far!

Fantastic place to stay whilst staying in Wellington.
Nearby buses give access into the center. Found it very difficult to get a space past lunchtime so arrive early.

Gorgeous spot.
Surf club played reggae music until around 9:30 which didn't bother us but might to others. Car park gets busy during late afternoon/evening.

Lovely spot with clean facilities and drinking water.
The rear campsite seems to be a popular spot for drug use as this happened twice whilst we were there, they seemed friendly enough but we moved to the front after.

$55 for 2 adults on an unpowered site.
The facilities were the cleanest we have come across in our time in NZ so price is justifiable despite being expensive
