Freedom to camp throughout Blenheim
Freedom camping in the Marlborough district is managed by Marlborough District Council, with approved sites spread across the wider region — from the Wairau Plains to Havelock and the Marlborough Sounds. Most sites require a self-contained vehicle certified to NZS 5465 standards, though a small number of non-self-contained spots are available. The council updates its approved site list regularly, so it’s worth checking before you travel. Maximum stays and rules vary by location.
