$5 for a powered site (pay at Caltex - staff will give a receipt to display on your vehicle dashboard).
Clean toilets open 24hrs, can get public dropping in to use them throughout the night. So may pay to park further away, if you’re easily disturbed by noise. Easy walk to Caltex, playground, supermarket and shops.

Omara Boat Ramp Reserve
4.5/5
Popular area with lots of boat owners, but they all park in the carpark away from camp site.
Lovely spot near the water and the wharf was popular with people jumping off and swimming. Only self contained vehicles allowed to stay the night, NO Tents. A lady came around to check and turned out to be really helpful and friendly. There was only about 5-6 designated spots which were all taken, but ‘Liz’ allowed us to stay just outside of boundary and gave some local information brochures and a rubbish bag for our use.

Paku Drive, Tairua
5.0/5
Very pretty beach view, has wooden tables/chairs and clean toilets.
We stayed here for one night during Christmas holiday period, arrived at 6pm and got the last designated spot. There’s only about 5-6 freedom spots, so get in early (must park between blue sign posts).

Ruatiti Domain
5.0/5
Big FREE campground with beautiful scenic surroundings.
You go through a fenced/gate property to get there. We stayed on the top camp area for one night, as the other two lower levels were quite busy. Long drops and tap available on top level (water needs to be boiled) and take your own toilet paper. The river looks like a perfect spot for a swim, if you stay long enough.
