A council is trying to legalise camping at its freedom camping sites after realising none of them complied with either national or regional rules.

Of the five freedom camping sites owned by the Marlborough District Council, two violate national reserve rules and four are waiting on resource consent approval to make camping there legal.
The sites, which saw 4300 tourists over summer, were the only ones to survive an overhaul of the region s freedom camping bylaw six months ago. Eight others were closed.
