Great spot, toilets near by and good phone signal. But it’s a real shame that campers can’t seem to follow the check-in time rules and that local councils don’t seem to keep these types of people accountable. Showed up and parked near by at 5pm and was prepared to wait till 6 only to find out people parked here before 5pm and no one already parked had used the QR code.

A waste of time to wait here for 6pm, some people risk the 800$ fine to secure one of the three available spaces, but others who don’t want to take the risk are waiting maybe to get nothing as three spaces is nothing compared to how many campers would like to stay. Useless to put a free camp if it’s for people to fight over three available spaces… as there are many parking lots that could be use for freedom camping but that’s the town’s choice

The only legal place in Glenorchy for freedom camping in the middle of the town, 3 spots available and online registration needed. Checking them regularly as it's behind a local hall and public long drop toilets.

Great quiet spot in town! Toilets are absolutely fine and if you arrive early enough, spots will be free.

We arrived late at 7:30 pm, and all three spots were already taken. The app showed two still available… It seems like no one is really using the system (same in Queenstown).

We luckily got a spot, close to town and the toilets. Quiet on an evening. Felt safe. Only 3 spots though so I guess they can fill up/ go quickly.

Whoever is going on feb 27 2026..it’s full. Not able to do the check in but don’t bother driving out here now

Good luck getting a space here. All 3 spots were taken before 1800!

The only legal place in Glenorchy for freedom camping. Just three spots available, vehicle can't be out of blue marking line, so just 5.5m long vehicles. Council is checking them regularly as it's behind a local hall and public dry toilets. You can park here only after you check in with QR after 6 pm and leave before 8 am next day. If you leave car there sooner as a placeholder you are eligible for fine up to 800$. That's what council said to us.
