A freedom camping scene in the Catlins last month. I love the concept of freedom camping, and the idea of being a hospitable nation. However, after many months of thought, I now believe we need to severely restrict freedom camping. Firstly, there are now just too many freedom campers, and secondly, a few spoil it for others. The Albert Town Tavern used to provide free parking to members of a motor home group and in return gained increased trade.
