Tourist in my own country
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Murchison ▷
0.5/5
Friendly greeting by a man working there but disgusting responses from an ill mannered woman when he wasn't around.
I was enjoying my stay until she opened her mouth and ruined my day. Due to the bad experience I'm forced to rate it low.
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Waiouru ▷
4.5/5
10 for security 10 for location being close to many great places to visit.
We arrived at 3am and less than 2 minutes later a security officer inspected our SC window tag to make sure it was up to date. Bright spotlight and cameras but quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of places to park on the grass. Public toilets 1 min or and easy walk away. Do not use the toilets there or you will be asked to leave.
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Hanmer Springs ▷
4.5/5
Good quiet spot with a small easy access clean shallow river running beside it.
Very clean new toilets. Self contained only camping. 10 marked spaces only from 8pm and must leave by 8am.
Seen one person try park outside marked area given a fine in the middle of the night and told to leave so don't try it.
No showers.
5 mins from hammer springs, animal farm, restaurant and a few other free camping sites so location is good.
