However one long-time freedom camper is worried low-income Kiwi families will soon be shut out of some of the country s most picturesque locations.
In November, Tourism Minister Stuart Nash announced plans to ban renting vans to tourists unless there is a toilet on board.
It follows years of poor behaviour by freedom campers, many young international tourists, who bought or hired cheap vans that did not have toilets, leaving behind their mess for councils and residents to clean up.
In 2018, the Responsible Camping Working Group was set up after protesters began blocking off parking sites, taking car keys off visitors and complaining en masse to local government.
