Waikaremoana Holiday Park
4.5/5
Very big campground for all sorts of tents and campervans.
You can also rent a small room. It’s well maintained and the amenities are nice and clean. Kitchen is small for such a big place but you have room to sit indoors when the weather is bad. There are no pots or pans available but they have ovens, a microwave and four different spots with 2 induction heating hubs. Oh and bonus they have a fish cleaning station and a smoker.

Rosie Bay Campsite
4.0/5
Beautiful spot!
About 5 spots available but only for smaller vehicles. There are about two spots for bigger tents. There’s a long drop a little further away. For the rest it’s all you and nature

Oraka Reserve, Mahia
4.0/5
Smaller campground (approx 8 to 10 spots) which will fill up quickly around weekends or public holidays.
Good and clean toilet nearby. It’s a nice spot right at the beach

Pourerere Beach Freedom Camping
3.0/5
Nice spots near the beach and you have some toilets close by.
Downside is that it gets quite busy with traffic on the beach and on the gravel road, and that’s even in the low season. If you like a bit more peace and quiet I would recommend going somewhere else.
