Lake Ruataniwha Reserve
4.0/5
Fabulous wild spot, very popular with campers.
No toilets, despite a sign encouraging visitors to use their on board toilet or the one provided. Self-contained vehicles only. Too many people are using any handy shrub or tree to defecate beside, leaving toilet paper strewn around - it is disgusting, and a chargeable offence. Visitors please respect our land

Lake Dunstan / Bendigo
4.0/5
Great views, lots of space if you arrive early.
Lots of toilets - portaloos at regular intervals along the parking strip and a permanent ablution block too. Pity that some people don’t use them and prefer to relieve themselves in adjacent bushes - please don’t, it’s a public health issue, it’s disgusting and a chargeable offence. Respect the kind you are visiting

Lake Ngaroto
3.5/5
Great lakeside site with plenty of space to enjoy the views.
Quiet at night. Long drop toilets a short walk across à grassy reserve - pity some campers don’t bother to use it and do their business in the nearby bushes (shame on you if you behave this way)
