Over the last few Summers, Freedom Camping has been a hotly debated issue.
This article gives an update on one New Zealander’s experience as a Freedom Camper:
Tourist season is in full swing and with it comes the inevitable coverage of hordes of freedom campers, descending on some of our prized beauty spots and turning them into a giant rubbish dump and public toilet.
It’s a far cry from the idyllic scenes shared globally of solitary motorhomes nestled at the foot of snow-capped mountains, or sun-kissed couples toasting one another outside a camper van at the edge of a secluded beach.
Contrary to popular belief, freedom campers are not all young overseas tourists. There are thousands of New Zealanders of all ages and backgrounds living on the road all year round who routinely use freedom camps also.
