Ok spot but just a car park really.
Short walk to toilets (overnight ones are down towards the marina) and shops, as well as the waterfront. There is a laundromat machine. If you can, try for the other freedom camping spot in town which backs onto a nice grassy area and is closer to the water.

Beautiful freedom camping spot- lovely lake views and a nice 6km track to walk around it.
Drop toilets are fairly clean, but no drinking water available at this site.

Great spot- view of a gorgeous mountain on a clear day and overnight public toilets located just across the road from the service station.

Don’t stay here!!
No signage and right next to the highway. Much better off driving on to the national army museum car park in Waiouru.

Great spot right by the beach, beautiful views in the morning.
Nice clean toilets and clean water available.
