Cox's Bay Esplanade, Herne Bay
3.5/5
Good spot considering you’re in the city limits.
Toilets available a short walk over to the park, be aware they are portaloo’s currently as work is being done on the main toilet block.

Margaret Griffen park, Mt Roskill
4.5/5
Brilliant spot considering how close to town it is.
Shower in ymca there for $2.50 and public toilets just by the rugby field.
It says 1 night stay but I stayed for a week while I sorted some stuff in town. Best in town spot I’ve found.

Riverside Motor Camp
4.0/5
$20 for a powered site, hot showers and a kitchen!
Can’t complain. Not a terrible location. The only down side is the grumpy gardener that lives on site. I had a run in with him over a drone and two long term residents told me he is reliably crotchety. A shame because otherwise the vibes and the community was great.

Midway Beach surf club car park
4.0/5
Decent spot, right on the beach and really close to town.
Considering it’s close to a road it was very quiet over night. Enough spaces for 10 vehicles. The only issue is that the public toilet is about a 5 minute walk away. Bit of a nightmare when (like it was for me) it’s heavy rain all day and night.

Waikanae Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
2.0/5
$30 pppn for a tent/powered site in November seems crazy for the quality of the site.
Pricing is also wrong on the page. Can’t recommend it for what it is. Real shame as top10’s are usually really decent if a bit pricey.

One Tree Point
3.5/5
Quiet somewhat secluded car park.
Both previous reviews said the toilets were clean, sadly while I was there, one toilet had a beer can in and hadn’t been flushed for what looked like a long time and the other toilets walls were covered in wet paper towels that had been thrown. I’ve not been as harsh as a 6 but it’s really not that pleasant. Maybe I should have tried the one down the road.
