Advocacy group warns it would fight freedom camping bans

An advocacy group fighting for everyone's right to freedom camp is warning it will challenge any blanket bans in court. Wanaka residents are calling for a ban on freedom camping at a popular spot on Beacon Point Road overlooking Lake Wanaka. Queenstown Lake District Council is currently reviewing bylaws controlling freedom camping, but the NZ Motor Caravan Association warns any outright ban could be unlawful. Spokesperson James Imlach spoke to Lisa Owen.
