Certified self-contained vans can park overnight in any council parking area that is not sign-posted as prohibited.
For complete details check wdc.govt.nz/camping. Check for onsite signs on arrival.
You risk a $200 fine for ignoring the rules.

Whangarei District Council also provides four designated freedom camping areas for self-contained vehicles
as well as 18 sites that permit non self-contained camping options.
Parking spaces and van length are limited at these sites and they are very popular, so be sure to arrive early
if you want to park overnight. We recommend you avoid these during the summer season.

Whananaki North Boat Ramp has a stunning view over the Whananaki Estuary, and include a sealed parking area were self-contained motor caravanners can park overnight,

This is a great location if you're travelling with a boat or kayaks. The fishing is good in the estuary, and it's a nice alternative if the Whananaki Reserve is already full.

The Whangarei District Council's policy on these public parking areas is that, if there is no sign forbidding overnight parking, then certified self-contained motor caravanners can park overnight for a maximum of 3 nights and a limit of 2 vans.
