East Cape Campground
5.0/5
Great spot !
We were going to miss this part of NZ out but managed to fit it in and glad we did.
The drive up is stunning, the campsite in a great location with good clean facilities (toilet block and showers) and reasonably priced ($10pp)
We went up to the light house for the sunrise in the morning which was great. Allow your self about a hour before sunrise to drive and climb the steps to the top. This should allow to to catch the sunrise just before it begins.

Hipapatua / Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve Free Campsite
2.0/5
Good spot close to the river and within walking distance of town.
However, we arrived at 5pm and the camp was already full so were lucky to find a space.
People continued to arrive until about 2 am and noisily setup camp right next to us and other campers.
One car even parked about 30cm from our van and banged the side of it with their car door.
Way too over crowded, with only a few Porto toilets which as you can expect with about 300 people using are not great..
Gates should be shut at 9pm to stop influx of people arriving throughout night.
Ok for a free spot but don't expect to get much sleep !
