Maruia Falls Carpark
3.0/5
Gravel carpark, single long drop toilet (very stinky).
Lots of road noise, but nice bonus is the sound of the waterfalls. Easy walk to waterfalls (I have ankle injury and made it). Great place to pull over for night on way over to West coast or north to Murchison.

Parking entrance is off on side road past scoutt hall.
Lovely place to park overnight with forest around you. Toilets were flushing and clean, with sensor light at night not far from carpark.

Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground
2.5/5
Watch out for massive potholes upon entry.
Expected to pay full price for stay even though main campground and amenities were closed for off season. Public toilet was flushing and clean. Across road is walk to lookout worth doing.
