Hipapatua / Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve Free Campsite
3.5/5
You can no longer park by the river unfortunately.
Toilets in the camping area are portaloos, and while the triple block of toilets is within walking distance, at night it is full of flies, and they are all long drops.
Appears to be quite popular.

Lake Maraetai Camping Reserve
4.5/5
Flush toilets in good condition.
Plenty of parking space. Shower for a fee, cafe nearby if you want coffee in the morning. Would be great place to take kids as there is a "fun island playground" on the lake. Kayaks and bikes for hire too.

Whakamaru Domain Camping Area
1.0/5
Empty paddock to camp in.
Sufficient for a night and as others have said shows a beautiful night sky. The toilets however were absolutely rank. They are meant to flush but they have no water supply so 5he contents just sit there. I would only use this site if you have your own toilet that you use regularly.
