4.0/5
Huge parking lot that is free unless you want to pay for a powered site.
The facilities are good, but are undersized for the number of people that stay here - it's a busy site. It wasn't noisy though and the proximity to the tongerero crossing and hikes make it an convinent place to stay in the area.

Te Kuiti Holiday Park
4.0/5
"Holiday park" is a bit of a stretch as it's just a parking lot.
Nevertheless, facilities are very clean and the farm behind makes a nice backdrop. There were a few stoner's living in a bus in the corner, but kept to themselves and were quiet. Good for a single night.

4.0/5
Nice parking lot for overnight stay near the dam spillway.
It is beside a road, but only a few cars came through during the night and they didn't bother us, and the spot was very quiet and the drop toilet was clean.
