Can I stay overnight here?

Resting or sleeping at the roadside to avoid fatigue is not freedom camping. Camping generally needs a certified self-contained vehicle, subject to council bylaws and DOC rules.

  • This is a DOC campsite, where camping is permitted; most DOC campsites charge a fee.

Signs at a rest area always override the general rule. Full rules and sources →
