Freedom camping in the Waimate District

Waimate District Council permits freedom camping throughout the Waimate District.

While freedom camping is permitted, campers must have certified self-contained units.

Be a responsible camper

Help us keep our district pristine for everyone wanting to enjoy all that freedom camping offers. Here are some tips:

• Leave camp sites in a clean and tidy state.

• Dispose of all toilet and wastewater at a Council approved dump point (Victoria Park, Knottingley Park and at 26 Studholme Street).

• Dispose of all other refuse in approved bags and approved locations.

• Follow safe fire practices at all times, including fire bans.

• Keep dogs under control at all times.
