Freedom camping rules are set by each council, and by DOC on conservation land. Check the local rules before you stay. Many spots are for certified self-contained vehicles only.
We do not know the vehicle rule for this spot. Check the council rules for your vehicle before you stay.
This is an area the rules cover, not a site you can drive to. The pin marks a rough centre, so follow the signs on the ground.
