Freedom Camping in Napier

Freedom camping spots and the local rules around Napier.

Napier and the wider Hawke’s Bay region have designated freedom camping spots for certified self-contained vehicles, governed by the Napier City Council Freedom Camping Bylaw and (for areas outside the city) the Hastings District and HBRC equivalents. Stays are time-limited at most sites, and certification under the current NZ Self-Contained Motor Vehicle standard (blue/green sticker) is required. Non-compliant camping carries instant fines and possible vehicle impoundment.
