WARNED: A German freedom camper was spoken to by police after brandishing a knife during a confrontation with a Press photographer.

Freedom campers are packing up after the Christchurch City Council put up a "no camping sign" at the council-owned car park in New Brighton.

The measure came after a German freedom camper pulled a knife during an argument with a photographer yesterday and a tense week between the group of campers who overtook the car park and New Brighton residents.

German camper Danilson Dala said he was having breakfast this morning when council staff came and told him and about 20 other campers to leave.

"Everyone agreed to leave, it was pretty peaceful," he said.
