âLocal youth, in the main, letting down their city. Tagging, damage. Along with some overseas visitors. Use the amenities here as they were meant. No dishes etc washed in toilets! There are outside taps if you need, but....You are meant to be here in the FC sites in legal vehicles. If you need to wash dishes somewhere other than in your van you are not legal. You are also meant to have legal toilets fitted. If not, don't expect to stay in NZ FC sites.â
