Te Paerahi Beach (Porangahau) Freedom Camping
4.5/5
Great place to stay.
Was fairly busy though on Labour Weekend. Apparently it's meant to be quiet normally! Definately some better spots in there too so get in early!
All the locals were very friendly and happy to provide advice on surf casting and possible swim spots.
Toilets clean and well serviced.

Lake Tutira Campsite
4.5/5
Arrived after finding out a local campsite was full on Labour Weekend.
We turned up at about 3pm and found a spot at the top of the campsite. Busy spot on Labour Weekend but apparently quiet at other times. Lots of sandflies near the lake. Long drops clean and don't smell which is always a nice surprise!
Highly recommend this spot.
