Waitomo TOP 10 Holiday Park
4.5/5
Very clean.
Easy to get around and a couple places to eat within walking distance. Could use a second dump site but on a slow day it's no biggie, however, the water hookup didn't work for our rental.

Rotokare Scenic Reserve
5.0/5
After an afternoon of driving through a lot of rain, it was so satisfying to come upon this gorgeous lush location.
Another reviewer said entering it seemed like entering Jurassic Park and it's true! You go through two separate gates to ensure you have no pests attached to your vehicle and then you're free to explore. Fantastic parking for self-contained vehicles along the lake and another small lot up near the restrooms for non self-contained vehicles. The paths around the lake are scenic and the bird life is extraordinary. We could spend a week here and would happily volunteer for their many projects.

Great location next to a beautiful stretch of beach.
Powered space was nice but number was hard to find in the dark as it was blocked by overgrown bushes. Could not get hot water working in shower.

BMX Pump Track Carpark, Marine Parade
5.0/5
Rated a 10 for a spot along the shore.
The second row is tight and the third row abuts the dump station. But if you can snag a spot along the beach walkway. Then you are in for a real treat with fantastic views! Special shout out to that anonymous fellow camper who upon departure asked us if we wanted there beachfront parking space. Awesome.
