South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Twizel ▷
1.5/5
Most of the space is taken up by permanent local campers and there were only 2 empty spots (with water hookups, but there are signs everywhere to boil the drinking water).
No showers, just the toilets. No hiking around in walkable distance. The water near boatramp is murky, not pleasant for swimming. Lots of friendly ducks :)
North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Tauranga ▷
3.0/5
A few spots for freedom camping.
Toilets are locked.
