1.0/5

No freedom camping sign, but we stayed the night anyway.
Dump station was at the same spot.

There was another tap but no sign if it was drinkable.

Campsite located on a not very busy street.
About ten vehicles can be accommodated here. There is a fresh water station, a trash can and a gray water pit.

The toilet is about 5 minutes away. However, I would recommend using the toilets in the city centre. These are much more well-kept.

You can park on the grass, but the sign says only two are allowed to camp there.
Quite at night, decent spot, except it does not have toilets… probably a 4-5 min walk

Not a bad spot if the other two in town are full.
Lots of space for vans. I arrived around 5PM and there was still plenty of room. Not the most scenic location, but it’s fine. The toilets are about a 6 minute walk away. Tairua is a super cute town to visit. Feels safe.

Not a bad option if Paku Drive down the road is full.
Not really any outlook except the houses across the road, and the dump station also situated here. The ground feels a bit boggy in the rain so be wary of getting yourself stuck
