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.
