North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Porirua ▷
3.5/5
There are many places for camper vans (about 30 I'd say) as there is only a general area defined where to park.
Some of the are is not really flat so better get there early for a good spot. Toilets not the best, there is a fresh water fountain next to the toilets. Lovely spot by the beach but a little bit windy.
South Island ▷ Central Otago ▷ Cromwell ▷
4.0/5
Unlimited spaces, almost all on even ground, nice toilets, although they are only half covered, so if it's windy it'll be windy in the toilet as well.
Good spot for a swim in the lake. No fresh water.
North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Mokau ▷
3.5/5
Great spot by the sea with plenty of room for lots of vans.
Has a few tables to sit down on, basic toilets but no water, showers or dump station.
North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Patea ▷
4.0/5
Great area, up to 3 SC or NSC vehicles per night, tents possible as well.
Nice toilets, dump station and fresh water, no showers. Kids playground and a BBQ area.
Could be a bit noisy since it's next to a road.
