Slab Hut Creek Campsite
4.5/5
Great spot far away from the highway so it,s very peaceful.
First night it was a bit crowded and hard to get away from noisy campers. Second night was quieter due to weather and a much better experience, really pleasant.
The toilets seem a bit overengineered!

Tapawera Campground and Tiny House Park
3.5/5
Slightly quirky, borderline shabby campground run by a very friendly woman.
There's a very welcoming policy towards long term campers, itinerant workers, cyclists, anyone. That makes an interesting mix, though of course mixing with people from very different backgrounds isn't always comfortable.
It's a little bit noisy with the adjacent highway, and the camping area is nothing special. The kitchen is great, and there are nice couches under cover.
