Dickey Flat Campsite
3.5/5
Stayed one night in October and paid $10 per adult.
Really quiet, only 4 other campers. Great walks. Only downside was the long drop toilets which were clean but smelt awful.

Waiteti Trout Stream Holiday Park
4.0/5
Place is closing in November (22) for renovations, they aren't taking more guests at the moment.
Website no longer has availability (but that's no help if you have no internet to check!)
That being said, had a nice stay in peaceful surroundings. Hopefully once it's renovated they reopen to campers as it's a lovely setting.

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Cambridge ▷
Lake Karapiro Camping & Pursuits Centre
4.5/5
Stayed for one night in October, nice big campground, clean toilets, hot showers and friendly staff.
Kitchen was small but serviceable, has cookers, fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster but you need to use your own pots, pans, plates etc.
Only real downside is the number of insects but that's to be expected next to a lake.
If you're coming from the North, the dam road is currently closed (Oct 22) so you have to take the longer route through the nearby town.
