Durie Hill Elevator
2.5/5
Basically a car parc near memorial and historic elevator.
Great view. No level surface to be found. Public toilet as clean as can be expected from public toilet. Attracts a lot of young people by car after dark for some reason, on a mondaynight. Left.

Anatoki Salmon Carpark
3.5/5
Former paddock now in use as surplus parking lot for Anatoki Salmon.
Nice soft grass. Quiet. No amenities. Sign says they'd welcome donation for local charity. Be very aware for sandflies! Me foreigner thought it was just regular flies...

Gore Bay and its campground feels like 1976.

Hinemaiaia Reserve Carparks
4.0/5
Keep going on narrow gravel road.
Spots will pop up on the left. Saw no one for 24 hrs! After that you'll be ready to move on

Lake Ōkaro Reserve
3.5/5
Perfect for a free site.
Costs NZD 8 though. Nevertheless pretty busy come dusk.
Swallow nesting in toilets; bonus. Do stroll around lake: saw owl and hedgehog.

Curio Bay Camping Ground
4.5/5
Well organized campsite.
Amenities accessible with code. Under new management? (= Tumu Toka Curioscape) Expensive but worth it for biological and geological attractions.

4.5/5
Didn't check amenities here at end of world but would go again just for beautiful surroundings.
Bring your own supplies.
