Freedom Camping in Tauranga

Freedom camping in Tauranga is more restricted than in many parts of New Zealand. Tauranga City Council enforces strict rules on where certified self-contained and non-self-contained vehicles can stay overnight, so options within the city itself are limited. The wider Bay of Plenty has coastal and roadside spots around Pukehina, Tahawai and along the road east to Ōpōtiki. Always check current signage and council rules before staying.
