From Sunday 7 June 2026, blue self-containment warrants for motorhomes and campervans will no longer be valid for freedom camping in New Zealand. Vehicle owners found freedom camping on public land without a green warrant may face a NZD 400 infringement notice. The transition period, which began in December 2023, ends this weekend. Over 68,000 vehicles have already been certified under the new system. Requirements include fixed toilets, water supply, wastewater management, ventilation, and rubbish storage.
