The freedom camping bylaw has been amended and goes live 17 Oct. A person may freedom camp in a self-contained vehicle for a maximum of 3 nights in any one month, at any one appointed freedom site. Location at The Point is restricted to a designated area. The designated area cannot be used if it is required for events.
The Point is a popular spot for freedom camping, with mixed reviews from campers who stayed there. Some reviewers found the location to be lovely, with a nice view of the river and friendly locals. The campsite can accommodate several cars, with space for 5-8 vehicles depending on parking arrangements. The portable toilets are a mixed bag, with some reviewing them as being a bit dirty or unpleasant, while others found one to be particularly clean. The toilet situation can be improved, as the public toilet is a short walk away.
Noise levels vary, with some campers reporting loud music or passing traffic, while others found it quiet. The area can be a bit run-down, and security concerns have been raised by some. However, the nearby town and Hamilton are easily accessible, making it a convenient spot for campers.
Overall, The Point is an okay place to camp, but campers should be prepared for some inconsistencies in facilities and noise levels. It's a good spot for a short stay or a quick overnight stop, but may not be suitable for longer stays or those seeking a more developed campsite.
