Freedom Camping

Tararua District Council’s Freedom Camping Bylaw (PDF file, 12.2 MB) is designed to protect our lovely open spaces and ensure everyone can access these spaces.

Where can I camp?

Please ensure you set directions in your map app before leaving town, as internet connection may be disrupted in some rural areas.

These other bylaws also apply to where you may park if you have a heavy vehicle and how we like everyone to treat our public areas.
