North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Rotorua ▷
Lakefront Carpark, Rotorua
3.5/5
Good spot to explore the city.
Be there early!! We arrived at 10.30, as was the other van. There are only three official spots and by noon all were taken. The signs aren’t very clear about where you can park. So other vans stayed the night as well, as far as we know they did not get fined. We talked to someone from the local government. There are three parkingspots next to the church with a campersign on the ground, those are the official spots. Nearby there is a playground with plenty toilets and drinking water. The toilets are open at night. No showers. There were guards at night because of the youth near the playground. It really is just a parkinglot but a good way to explore the city.

Pourerere Beach Freedom Camping
4.0/5
Great spot along the beach with a new (drop) toilet.
There are about fifteen places. You park right along the dunes, 10 meters from the beach. Only downside is that there are no drinking water facilities nearby so bring enough. Also no showers. But it is a beautiful place

Hauraki Rail Trail Terminus
4.5/5
You can park right next to the water.
Many spots available. There are three toilets and a cold shower. Bit of a walk but worth it!

Lake Aniwaniwa
5.0/5
Absolutely perfect!
Toilets, solar showers and a place to do the dishes. No drinking water so bring plenty. The lake was beautiful and you can pick your own spot. There were not many people so don’t worry too much about getting a place. Very peaceful (and free). We encountered some sand flies but they weren’t too bad
