Taumanu Reserve, Onehunga
3.5/5
As mentioned below a bit noisy because it's close to the highway but I thought of it as white noise and slept well.
Parking spots are levelled and toilets were ok. Only few spaces in designated area but the ranger didn't fine the other vans on a public holiday

Tawharanui Regional Park Camping Ground
5.0/5
Absolutely beautiful and huge campsite in the middle of the Tawharanui Regional Park.
It's a well groomed and protected area with lots of birds waking you up in the morning, close to the prettiest beaches and space for all sizes of campers. Long drops were clean but had mosquitos at night. Bonus points because it's a kiwi zone and you might get lucky spotting one in the wild!
Make sure to book online to get the PIN for the entrance lock via mail, and arrive before the park's closing time.

Katiki Beach North Reserve Rest Stop
5.0/5
Perfekte Aussicht, windgeschützt und unter Bäumen, Toilette war auch sehr sauber.
Es gibt nicht unendlich viele Plätze, aber wir haben im Herbst spätabends noch Glück gehabt! Nur auf die Baumwurzeln muss man achten, damit der Wagen nicht komplett schief steht.
