5.0/5
Really nice campground, peaceful area near the forest so not too windy here, cute little birds around.
Flushing toilets that were clean and didn’t smell. We arrived late (20.30) and didn’t find a place for us on the other freedom campground so came here and we were really lucky to be here instead! Ranger came around 9pm to check if everything’s alright

2.5/5
Really long way to get here with a loose road and lot of potholes.
Small campground is near the ocean but wasn’t as nice as expected. Oyster shells and other food leftovers laying around, not many flat areas and toilet was in a really bad condition. One potable toilet, not much space in it and gross smell, so you can’t breath in it!
If the weather is good it could be nice here (if you don’t need the toilet), but with bad weather it’s definitely not worth the long ride.

5.0/5
Really nice spot directly at the ocean, wonderful view!
We were lucky to have good weather with a beautiful sunset while low tide so the caves were all orange and we were alone at the place. Little walk to the toilets, men’s toilet was ok but smelled a bit, women’s toilet was clean. Maybe our favorite freedom camping ground so far, but depends on the weather a lot!

4.0/5
Liegt am See und am Wald, gibt also bei heißen Temperaturen schöne schattige Plätze.
Besonders gut sind die kostenlosen sauberen warmen Duschen!
Leider hat, wahrscheinlich durch die hohen Temperaturen, der See etwas gestunken und es gab soo viele Mücken, dass wir die ganze Zeit über komplett zerstochen wurden. Das hat den Besuch am schönen Campingplatz leider sehr heruntergezogen.

Hauraki Rail Trail Terminus
3.0/5
Nice view, free overnight parking directly at the water, but also directly next to a street with car and truck noises at night (they were honking while passing here).
There are toilets nearby, but they were dirty and smelled bad and everywhere was mud on the walls, door and on the bathroom sink probably because of the kids playground.
