Freedom Camping: Sawdon Edwards Stream, Tekapo, Canterbury, New Zealand

Sawdon Edwards Stream rest stop and freedom camp is 7.8km out of Tekapo. This freedom camp is easy to get to, and it is so close to Tekapo. You must have a certified self-contained vehicle if you want to stay the night at this freedom camp.
A "Freedom Camp" is the New Zealand term for what Europeans call "Wild Camping" and Australians call "Free Camping". It means you can park there for the night without having to pay a nightly fee, so it is free to stay.

Csc is not enforceable it's a voluntary standard for nzmca members to use at their parks

No, CSC is mandatory at Sawdon Edwards. I showed photos of the sign in the video. There's a $200 fine in that region for parking up the night without the CSC certificate; it's absolutely enforceable and they issue fines regularly.
