Bruce Lochore: Motor Caravan Association CEO defends freedom campers amid proposed Rotorua crackdown - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Freedom campers are pushing back at a Rotorua holiday park manager's claims they're breaking the rules. 

All Seasons Manager, Tracie Thornborough, is asking Rotorua Council to clamp down on freedom campers. 

She says they're staying too long - and don't support local businesses. 

But Motor Caravan Association CEO, Bruce Lochore, says Government research disputed such claims four years ago. 

"They show substantially that they do contribute to that local economy when they come in."
