Evans Bay Marina Carpark sits on Evans Bay Parade in Kilbirnie, about 4. 4 km from Wellington's CBD, offering around 51 designated freedom camping spaces in a waterfront car park setting.

It is free to use but strictly reserved for certified self-contained vehicles, which must display a current NZS 5465 warrant card. A maximum stay of four nights per calendar month applies across all Wellington freedom camping sites combined.

The location is convenient rather than scenic — essentially a marina car park — but it puts campers within easy reach of Wellington city, with wind-driven artworks along the waterfront nearby and a swimming centre a short walk away.

Reviewers note it is a practical base before catching the Interislander ferry to Picton.
