Ambury Park Camping Ground
3.5/5
A great place for a night around Auckland.
We stayed here on our first night and did not regret it. It is $20 for two adults.
There are public toilets which are decent. Also there is showers. Not luxurious but they do the job quite well.
There are lots of different animals. So if you like sheeps, cows, horses, birds, etc. this is a lovely place to stay.
So I would say that it is worth the $20 when you keep in mind that they have to run a small farm there.
Be here in good time. The spots for vans are few.

5.0/5
Would have given 11/10 if possible.
A "hidden gem" in the landscape.
A reallu lovely place to stay for the night. Kind family who makes sure that everything is good.
We got two banana muffins and some animal food for their sheep and pigs. We had fun feeding those.
Nice kitchen, toilets and showers.
Walk the recommended walk to the waterfall. Really worth it. It is a quite difficult route though. But it is marked with red dots to make sure that you are going the right way.
If you have the opportunity to go here, you should definitely do it!

Piha Domain Motor Camp
4.0/5
A really lovely place to stay for the night.
The woman in the office was really kind.
There is power for your camper. You get 30 minutes of shower each.
The toilet and shower are not luxurious, but they are okay and do the job well.
There is a kitchen and a laundry house. Also there is a tennis course if you are into to that stuff.
The price is $20 per person.
Do yourself a favour and go to the beach at sunset.

TECT Park – Freedom Camping Site
5.0/5
A really lovely place relatively close to Rotorua.
Great toilets and has a BBQ.
If you do not turn left in time you make it to the gravel road. You do not need to go there!
It has a great walk which starts from the information board. It takes about 1,5 hours to walk.

Owhiro Bay Overnight Campervan Parking
4.0/5
Very few spots unless you want to camp illegally.
And it is not cool to do that!
Arrive early to get s spot here. It pays off to wait for the "normal cars" to depart as the beach is popular at day too.
The toilets are okay and are open 24/7.
Stayed here for two nights

Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park
4.0/5
A really nice place to stay for the night.
The toilets and showers are really nice.
$50 is quite expensive for 2 adults. But when you keep in mind that you many other places will pay $40 for something similar, the last $10 is well spend for the hot pools.
Do yourself a favour and get up early to be in the pools before you check out. It definitely feels like you get an hour extra of sleep when you have been in these pools.
Really nice and friendly staff.
Thanks for the great comments again! It's always good to know guests have enjoyed their time here.

4.5/5
A lovely spot to spend your night.
Be there in good time as this is a popular place to stay. We arrived at 3.30 PM and there were only a few spots left
There are some really nice toilets a 2 minute walk down the road. One of them are open 24/7.
There are plenty possibilities when it comes to shopping. The most important might be The Warehouse and Pak'n' Save. Also McDonald's has a restaurant located among the other stores if you don't feel like cooking in your camper van.
Enjoy your stay here.

3.5/5
A place with lots of space.
The toilets are very basic and few and have no lighting.
Because it is right next to water there are lots of small flies which can be a bit annoying. Make sure to keep your door and windows shut when lights are on when it is dark outside.
A short drive from Hobbiton

Five Mile Bay Recreation Reserve
3.5/5
REALLY CROWDED!
You need to arrive here early to get a decent spot.
The place is really crowded and has only one really basic toilet which has no toilet paper! So remember that.
Other than that the view over Taupo Lake is beautiful.

Buffalo Beach, Whitianga Beachfront
4.0/5
A lovely place with a lovely view.
Only 3 spots for sleeping, so might be full when you arrive. Be here early. We were very lucky to get the middle spot even though we arrived at 5 pm.
The view over the ocean is beautiful to wake up to. Make sure to back up into your spot so you get the most out of the ocean.
Only really downside is that the toilets are VERY basic and are closed at night.
But there is a reason that you have to be self contained to stay here.
