Evans Bay Marina Carpark
4.0/5
Although freedom camping is mostly permitted in on street parking in Wellington it feels more secure to be with other campers.
It's a bit of a walk to the centre of town from here though! Was full when I arrived at 6pm but I was able to street park and move when it freed up in the morning. It's laid out like a normal carpark so campers are pretty jammed in. Very windy!

Lake Pearson (Moana Rua) Campsite
4.0/5
Pretty campsite next to the lake.
Clean long drop toilets. Signs advising against camping under the trees for safety reasons. Wind here was exceptionally strong when I visited.

Kerr Bay Campsite
3.5/5
Most of the site already booked when I arrived.
Despite signage saying the doc campsite pass is valid (except for 26 Dec to 8 Feb), the website disagrees and there is a $28 charge. Nearby access to beautiful lake although seemingly no views from the camping area.
