Wanaka residents are calling for a freedom camping ban at a popular lakeside spot, saying visitors are pooping in the bushes, doing laundry in the lake and dumping their rubbish. There are just three spots designated for overnight camping on Beacon Point Road over looking Lake Wanaka - but some resident say the site's overwhelmed by campers. Local councils can't use bylaws to completely ban freedom camping across their region but they can regulate it. Sandy Hazledine lives near the Beacon Point site and is opposed to freedom camping there, he spoke to Lisa Owen.
