Very nice spot, close to the warehouse, New World and a toilet beside the parking. I was woken up by a train passing in the middle of the night, but other than that, no issues plus, you can get a shower for 3 dollars at the aquatic centre down the street.

The spot is right next to the road. New World and The Warehouse are within walking distance, and so is the nearby gym, where you can work out for NZD 5 and have a lukewarm/warm shower. The toilets at the campsite itself were very clean (they were cleaned at night), and both were open all night while we were there. Despite being next to the road, it was very quiet at night. Phone reception was very good. We felt safe.

Plenty of space and easy to identify. Parking next to the street, so expect some noise. There is a public toilet and It was open at night.

Parking zone for campers only, but unfortunately the ground is slightly sunken, so you park/lie at an angle. The toilets were clean, but only one of the two was open. The road is quiet at night, so you only hear the occasional vehicle.

Solid spot: two sections of street side parking designated for vans/campers with grass to the side. The closer bathroom closes sometime before 8pm and opens sometime before 7am. There is another bathroom open all night at the visitors center, which is walkable distance down the street.

Not very pretty, squeezed between the railway and the road, but it's perfect for a night in an area with few free campsites. Noisy during the day but really quiet at night. Clean and open toilets.

Okay to park up for night if you need, nothing special at all

Nothing special but it does the job. We felt safer here than at the other freedom spots in the area, however the road is very loud and the trains will shake your vehicle all night! For one night it was OK and we had no issue finding space

if you are looking for a places close to waitomo caves it’s ok, there is a toilet, warehouse and new world across the street, but noisy street and railway during the night

Right on the street, small picnic tables next to it. The toilet itself was clean, but the room was dirty. In principle completely fine, we still went to the Sheep Statue because it seemed quieter.
