Grey River Overnight Campground

Located on the north side of the Grey River (Māwheranui) just off SH6, down from the main bridge on Nelson Quay in Greymouth, this free overnight area is reserved for certified self-contained vehicles only.

Campers must display a valid self-containment warrant in the front left window; failure to do so may result in a fine. The site is open and grassy with room for larger rigs, accommodating roughly 11–15 vehicles with a maximum stay of three nights.

On-site facilities include a dump station, potable water, and rubbish bins, but there are no toilets or showers. The area is fairly exposed and close to the main road, so some traffic noise is to be expected.

A sheltered BBQ is also available for use at no charge.
