3.0/5
A bit hard to find but was worth.
Very quiet place between the forest and close to the river. Wonderful to enjoy the night despite it was quite cold, but reasonable taking into account the spot. Toilet available and campfire as well, despite we preferred to avoid it to minimize the risks.

Wairakei Thermal Valley Campground
5.0/5
Gorgeous meadow with plenty of animals and all the supplies needed.
Hot water for a shower, clear water for the van, power supply and even a cafeteria. The animals were friendly and very nice. We really enjoyed having dinner with chickens, peacocks, sheeps and llamas. Great place to go, specially after visiting the Kerosene Creeks. It's close to the Huka falls too, so a great stop in your trip. For 2 people we paid 48$ for a powered site 2 people. Maybe not the cheapest place but it's worth.

Quiet place to rest your soul after a busy day enjoying this country.
Cold, wet and full of mosquitoes, but it's a lake at the end of the day, so comprehensive. A pity that it didn't have a bathroom, really missed it.
