Rankers is wrong not only for 6 vehicles can park any where in a huge area beach or lake or river spots No toilets closes would be back at main beach so need to be self contained .Very scenic area can

see kapiti island from beach from other side as was in Parapariki beach 2 days if there good biking at Queen Elizabeth regional park but have to stay in holiday park there only rated it

a 7 as no toilets

Lake Henley in winter not to cold big parking area for vans .

Alot of ducks and geese near by .Can hear traffic sometimes .Toilets are locked at night even as it's a freedom camping area seems council hasn't thought of overnite travellers
