Business opportunity solutions to solve “FREEDOM CAMPERS”
Business opportunity solutions to solve “FREEDOM CAMPERS”
I still want New Zealanders to be-able to camp anywhere as of right.
I could see the many commercial camping grounds business in Whangarei make more profit if they advertise and provide what many of these “freedom campers” want and need.
Is there an opportunity for someone or many of us, to set up sites in their sections for campers like a small B&B.? If you have a section you could make a good return “$$” if you supply what they require. If you want to upscale this, setup your own campground site. If you supply quality at a reasonable price your business should do well.
Do we want a Public/Private adventure on a site/s that we would need to hire staff to supervise the sites?
Do you know each public toilet block costs approx $10 000 each year to keep clean of your rates money.
Some camp grounds charge $50 per person each night for a tent site at summer season and winter can be as cheap as $20.
I like the B&B setup what do you think?
Thanks Tony Gill

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
