*Beware* nearest public toilet closes overnight though meant to be 24hrs, we tried it at 22:30 and had to walk to a different one instead!
Good enough though "no cooking external of van" isnt that clear whether a hooker that sticks out the back only when the van is open is also prohibited.

Good location right in the centre of town however keep in mind that at night up until about 12am there were groups of teenagers harassing campers by banging on their doors and windows with a lot of yelling
and shouting. I would hazard this is a fairly common occurrence especially on weekends as they came as soon as it became dark. Carpark is well lit but this was still an uncomfortable experience. Things calmed down over night however. Public library right across the road and toilets nearby but the toilets were closed by 6pm.

We spent one night here last night, as did around four others, isn’t it funny how we will squeeze next to each other, haha.
Plenty of space. All day free parking on weekends and weekdays, but if you’re camping there in the week, you need to pay for parking between 09:00 and 17:00. Really quiet night, very easy walk to the centre of town! Bins too! Great spot! Makes you want to stay and spend money in the town, which we did! Thanks Blenheim! Keep it clean! Keep it free!

Alright for a town centre car park with plenty of space.
The closest public toilets were closed and others near by weren’t great. Some nice little cafes near by and a really good wine bar that’s open late so was good to be close to those

Ordinary car park used by locals during work hours.
Good, central location. Unfortunately, all toilets within reasonable walking distance were closed by 7 PM.

Quiet safe spot right in town.
"Official " spots are marked with tiny numbers at the top of the spots, but nobody seemed to follow & no tickets issued. Bathrooms nearby but they close after dinnertime!

Central location camping in car park.
Large car park well surrounded by buildings if its particularly windy. Public toilet a 5 min walk on streets either side of the car park. Some early morning noise with lorries etc but to be expected in area

Not pretty but convenient location; we snagged a spot early and walked & biked rest of the day.
Toilets nearby. Lot brightly lit and some city partying noise but only campers parked at night.

The little numbers you're looking for are in white paint at the top of the parking space.
We arrived early and got a spot, but noticed locals also liked to park in the self contained campervan spaces out of the entire empty parking lot (and didn't leave until after 10pm). Flush toilets are 24 hours and a short, well lit walk north. Would recommend for a city space!

There are 5 spots with number behind the Briscoes.
Toilets across the street but closed at night time. You can park there from 6pm to 9pm since it is a paying carpark during the day.

I took some time to find the spots after reading many comments with the descriptions, and stopped the campervan there for a while until start feeling unsafe there.
Many people passing too. That was the only place I didn't feel safe in NZ. I recommend drive further more and stop at next free campsite.

Not that I’m surprised, being in the middle of town in a parking lot and all but I wouldn’t recommend this spot.
Even though everything surrounding the spot is closed, this seems to be the hang out on the weekends. Lots of passers by, loud music and revving engines.

Great quiet spot in town.
No toilets. A lot of stores just a minute walk and a Domino's pizza beside. Theres is 5 little numbers next to Briscoes that are are to find but it looks they are the parking slots.

Very good carpark!
Wynen Street has only 1 carpark. When you turn into, you will see BRISCOES HOMEWARE panel (with yellow and blue color on the wall) in front of your view. The number from 1 to 5 for free parking is located in the second row, count from that BRISCOES panel.

Don't expect big signage or beautiful scenery.
It's just a few marked spots in a car park, but close to shops and restaurants in town. Self-contained only. In September I was the only campervan there and wasn't woken by the noise or streetlights. Best is the clean public toilet nearby (just a block north) as another review mentioned and free wifi in the same area.

Located centrally in Blenheim.
Grocery store and fuel very close. Quiet.
Campsite is in a city car park. One small sign on a building wall indicates it's a freedom campsite. It is not marked or obvious where to park.

Not the easiest place to find, there is a sign on the wall towards Dominos indicating the freedom camping spots.
Small numbers are painted on the floor for spaces 1-5 just keep your eye open and you'll find it all.
However, great to get a quiet spot in the middle of town and easy to grab a couple of bikes to ride between wineries, just be wary of the wind on the road between Blenheim and Renwick. Also the toilets made me chuckle with the music to keep you entertained.

After driving around in circles could not even locate this carpark.
So I just went to the railway station camping area instead.

Perfect for just the overnight stay.
It is a carpark during the day, so don't expect more. Right in Blenheim center. Please note that there is a - newly built, with music and all - public toilet nearby, about 200m away, easy walking distance. You can see a flashing led light on the door of the toilet, from the car park. Did not here the trains at night, only a whistle blowing in the evening. There is a light noise of the air conditioning of a nearby building, but when we closed most of our van windows we couldn't here it anymore. No problem at all.
