Kowharewa Bay
5.0/5
Stayed for one night, while we planned to go diving Poor Knights islands the next day.
The boat leaves from Tutukaka which was a 5 minute drive. We arrived early in the afternoon, and enjoyed the bay while we were the only ones who stayed there. Later in the evening 2 others arrived. If parked nicely 4 perhaps 5 vans will fit. Toilets are good, and were cleaned in the morning.

4.5/5
Very nice spot to stay for a night next to the beach and a great view of Kapiti Island.
Toilet is the one with the music and auto lock, and was cleaned in the morning. Nice toilet however abused by one of the other campers who stayed there. It was open 24hours during our stay. Local construction workers tend to use the toilet also. Only 4 spots and those were filled around 17.00h. during the evening there was some traffic, not sure what they were doing. Didn't feel unsafe.
