Acceptable or not?

Reporter Whangārei Leader

A visitor to Whangarei stopped at the I-Site over the long weekend and took these pictures of the rubbish bins overflowing and freedom campers drying their washing. Do you think this is an acceptable look for one of the gateways for people travelling into Whangarei?

Business opportunity solutions to solve “FREEDOM CAMPERS”

I still want New Zealanders to be-able to camp anywhere as of right.

I could see the many commercial camping grounds business in Whangarei make more profit if they advertise and provide what many of these “freedom campers” want and need.


Is there an opportunity for someone or many of us, to set up sites in their sections for campers like a small B&B.? If you have a section you could make a good return “$$” if you supply what they require. If you want to upscale this, setup your own campground site. If you supply quality at a reasonable price your business should do well.

Do we want a Public/Private adventure on a site/s that we would need to hire staff to supervise the sites?
Do you know each public toilet block costs approx $10 000 each year to keep clean of your rates money.
Some camp grounds charge $50 per person each night for a tent site at summer season and winter can be as cheap as $20.

I like the B&B setup what do you think?

Thanks Tony Gill
