I was rudely awoken at 3am by someone banging and shaking the van before proceeding to scream f*ck off then jumping back in their car and blasting the horn. As a solo female traveller I wouldn’t recommend it left me quite shaken up!

Our car got damaged with traffic cones on a friday night, by a boy group at 2am - called the police 3 times. They skreamed things Like „wake up motherf****s“.

I was staying there 27.11. , I arrived first and then 2 more vans came. There was one old Maori guy hanging out around on his bike, was talking to me for a while. If there is no other campers I would leave. Both of Toilets were surpassingly closed during the night from 6pm.

It’s a free space, and it helped a lot, as there are not many places on the road southwards. (It was already late) I felt a bit bad, as the marked field was too small for the length of my campervan. But no one bothered. It’s a calm place with a very good bakery not even 5min of it. Yes there are passing cars but not lot of traffic. I didn’t use the public toilets (my van is self contained). There’s a playground and a japanese garden nearby as well.

We felt insecure. When we were driving to the place we saw three people in a big fight in the middle of the road. one girl took a big stick of her car. It was in the road near to the carpark. It was late and we were tired so we stayed because there isn't many option nearby. It is a carpark near to the main road and the train rail. Noisy. There isn't to much space but also not to many people. The toilet across the street was really dirty we didn't use it. We survived! Din't have any problem

Great place by the main road, but the road was very quiet. One of two toilets accross the street in the little park was open during the night. So previous comment is not correct.

Topp!! Det var 4 av oss for 6 plasser totalt. I motsetning til presidentens kommentarer, var frihet campingområdet veldig lett indikert, med merker på bakken. Byen må ha gjort dette nylig. Jeg trengte ikke å bruke toaletter, så jeg kan ikke si for åpningstider, men det er 3 i nærheten. Jeg sov ekstremt godt, ikke plaget i det hele tatt av støy. Alt alene i min campervan, følte jeg meg trygg. jeg anbefaler det!

Ingenting spesielt, men stille, og bedre enn de andre alternativene på kartet. Litt støy. Toaletter i den nærliggende parken var stengt om natten.

Ikke et flott sted, en fyr i bilen fullstendig bortkastet, en jente løp i parkeringsplassen for å unnslippe politiet Støy fra 6am Toaletter ikke rengjort i det hele tatt og stengt om natten

Vi parkerte basert på de siste 2 kommentarene, da vi ikke kunne finne noen definitive kart eller merker selv. Dette stedet er ikke noe fancy, men det gjør jobben. Vi brukte Main Street bad 5 minutters gange unna, de var bra. Et godt sted å nå Waitomo tidlig.
