If your certified vehicle has a portable toilet, you’re still welcome to remain a member of the club, access our parks and attend NZMCA events. You will just need a yellow warrant card once the blue one expires.
If you still want to freedom camp, DOC and many councils will continue to provide sites for non-certified self-contained vehicles in appropriate locations across New Zealand, however, you will have less opportunity to freedom camp in non-designated areas.
Members’ vehicles with portable toilets and non-expired blue self-containment warrant cards can still freedom camp in local authority areas restricted to self-contained vehicles until their vehicles’ self-containment expires or the transition period ends (whichever comes first).
