Capital Gateway Motor Inn
3.5/5
Forced to stay here because there is very little camping spots in and near wellington.
Had to pay $49 for powered site (even though we are non powered but these were all taken). Toilet/kitchen block clean and tidy. Hot free showers. Laundry $4 and drying $4. Basically a car park for all the campervans, but fine for a night. Very close and easy for ferry crossing in the morning. Most expensive place we stayed at so far but guess they think they can charge that because there are limited options in wellington. Booking ahead is recommended. Free WiFi but with voucher - worked as long as you were always on the internet.

Mangaweka Campground
4.0/5
Good stop off between lake Taupo and wellington.
This is the cheaper of the two sites, $9 for non powered site per person - must go to opposite campsite to pay for stay. $3 for hot shower but unfortunately hot shower wasn’t working when we were there. Standard toilet block. Running water. Kitchen to do washing up. Nice spot nearby river.

Affordable Willowhaven Holiday Park
4.0/5
$34 for non powered site for two people in campervan.
Nice spot backing onto the lake. Pretty sunrise and sunset. Good bathroom and nice hot showers. Standard kitchen. No where to sit and eat inside but there is a covered area with picnic benches. WiFi voucher but didn’t work. Good location coming into Rotorua. No bad smell.

Lake Ōkāreka Campsite
3.5/5
$15 each per night.
Quite pricy considering very basic with only long drop toilets. No running water. Pretty spot overlooking lake, can swim in it. Quite busy so recommend getting there early - ish for a good spot. Vans basically parked right next to each other. Location is a bit out of Rotorua. Warden came round about 8pm to collect payment.

Seabreeze Holiday Park
3.5/5
$40 for two people per night for non powered spot.
Large kitchen and area for eating inside. Standard toilets. Not that pretty as a campsite, no scenic views. Furniture and everything was a bit outdated but seemed like a standard holiday park. Good location on the way to hot water beach and cathedral cove. Arrived after 6pm so just parked up and payed in the morning. Nothing special really.
