the toilets were really clean, lots of homeless people but it was ok
When I arrived I felt not secure at all. There are some homeless people around. But I decided to stay, had a chat with them… they were so nice and friendly and I understood that they don’t have another place to live, so they just want to be at a secure place where it is kind of allowed to stay, and not to get in big trouble… on the other hand I can understand when travelers are a bit shocked and don’t want to stay there. I think the city should think about a fair solution(maybe a seperate place)
Nice spot! About 10-15 parking places, really nice toilets. Calm at night.
2 separate fights in one night between the homeless staying here
I travel and sleep in my SUV on holiday. I napped for 3hrs during the day here and it was lovely - quiet. I felt safe. And nice view from Carpark of grassy riverside hill, as well as riverside trees/bushes.
Not free done camping anymore😢
Hier dürfen nur Autos mit SelfContained stehen.
Pulled up here then left after a few minutes. Looks like a great spot to stay right by the river and not far to walk into town but 75% of the freedom camping area was taken up by long term homeless residents who might be lovely but I didn't feel comfortable staying here as a solo female so I moved on. Such a shame as it's the only free camping spot in Whanganui for NSC
Bon endroit, pas trop bruyant et avec des toilettes très propres !
