Free Self Contained Camping
About
Free Self Contained Camping, a campsite or camping ground on North Island, keeps its gates open 24/7 for self-contained vehicles. The site sits at 195 Weir Road, Slope Point 9884, in the far south of the country.
Slope Point lies well south of the main centres, with Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all far to the north. This is a freedom camping ground where vehicles must be self-contained to stay. One hundred and twenty-three reviews have given Free Self Contained Camping an average of 4.4 out of 5.
Because the site never closes, arrivals can be timed around the drive rather than a gate. The freedom camping page at https://www.southlanddc.govt.nz/my-southland/freedom-camping/ sets out how the scheme works.
Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which matters when the site sits this far south. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
