Campground in Southland, Southland New Zealand
There are spaces for non-self-contained camping on either side of the train platform, between the signposted arrows on site. Up to 7 nights in any 30 day period. This area is shown in green on the aerial photo in the photo reel above. There are no other spaces for non-self-contained campers in the town and there is an enforcement service in place if camping occurs outside of the identified non-self-contained area.
There is also a commercial camping facility available at the northern end of the Lumsden township if the non-self-contained area is full. Another option up the road at the Lodge and Holiday Park in Athol.
Self-contained camping is permitted in the town in any public carpark, and the toilet car park is recommended. Up to 3 nights in any 30 day period for self-contained.
Any person found to be camping in a tent, car or non-self-contained vehicle outside the designated parking area is liable to receive a $200 infringement fee, so all visitors are encouraged to ensure that they camp in the designated parks

Cute spot and very accommodating. Clean flushing toilets, level spots. Large patch of grass for sunny days but also picnic tables on the covered railway platforms for rainy days. There’s even a sink on the platform to wash your dishes in, as well as useful information there about the nearest shower or laundromat. Two cafés and a 4square next door.
Easy to find and lots of space. Level ground making it good for parking. 4 square nearby. Occasionally hear a big lorry pass by. Good toilets. We were one of 3 campers and felt safe being here overnight
This is amazing little site! This was second option for us and was 100% better than the first! Nice clean toilets, and washing up facilities.
Best free campsite ever 😃 When we stayed there (early July) there were much more as the 2 free spots announced, at least 15 were marked as ok. Not sure if this seasonal? Many clean flush toilets nearby, amazing playground, washbasin with even the dishwashing liquid available…. Cute handmade shop in the old train station and old trains to see for free (closed at night but open in the morning). A bit loud at night because of the trafic, but not annoying. Donations welcome for the community
This parking is lovely. Is in the middle of the town. you have a sinks, toilets, bins. the Parking is in old ststion and there is a old train. It is open and can enter it
We loved this little camp! It has all the facilities you need. Flushing toilets, a washing up sink, clean water! You can pay for a hot shower at 4 square for $10 and a $20 deposit. The showers are a short walk away at the community pool. The area is clean, tidy and the locals are very welcoming.
Fabulous free campsite. Clean flushing toilets, sinks to wash up and right across the road from a super market.
Best free campsite you’ll stay on in the South Island. Lots of parking space, great flush toilets, washing up sink, fresh drinking water, dump station and undercover benches! Even a little library and a train you can browse. Top!
Super freecamp, toilettes propres avec savon. Petit espace à l'abri avec tables et évier pour manger et faire la vaisselle. Pas mal de places. Atypique avec les trains.
Super site vraiment bien aménagé pour les campings car !! Lavabo pour la vaisselle, tables, beaucoup de places, supermarché et cafés en fac. Les toilettes sont proches et propres ! Je recommande !!
