Great free spot on a quiet road right by the water.
Public toilets, a play ground and bench seats overlooking the water all available. As someone else mentioned, some of the designated area has an incline which is not ideal for large motorhomes... but we made do for the night and would stay again.

We underestimated our return from Cape Reinga to Mangawhai so spent the night here.
Good free spot overlooking sports fields. Big carpark but only 4 campers allowed overnight. You could hear cars and trucks passing the main road nearby but it didn't stop us sleeping. Not sure about the public toilets as we had a toilet in our camper but there is a picnic table to eat at. Not much to do in Kaikohe but we're checking out the nearby hot springs before we push on to Mangawhai this morning. Recommend this spot if you can't make it to your next destination. Great Chinese takeaway and fish and chips in the main road in the township.
