We Say, You Say: Freedom Camping
Do you agree with the Council's decision to close some freedom camping sites?
A subcommittee of the Marlborough District Council are due to vote on the closure of two-thirds of Marlborough's freedom camping sites on Friday, with the proposed bylaw aiming to open three others.
It comes after the incoming Tourism Minister Stuart Nash blasted freedom campers, saying that tourists will no longer be able to hire out non-self-contained vehicles. "If you're willing to pay for a campervan at least you have the ability to dispose of your excrement in a way that meets our sustainability goals and quite frankly our brand," he said.
Campers can still reside in the approximately 50 other Department of Conservation campsites, for a fee.
