5.0/5
We had such a brilliant stay here.
Like others have reviewed there isn't much of a view and there aren't toilets open overnight (it is the club car park) but the folk in the club are absolutely brilliant, let us join in their club for the evening and really were up for the chat - go on a Wednesday to get some delicious tucker for next to nothing, the John Dory was especially amazing! There is also pool, darts and indoor bowling if that's your thing!

Government Gardens Thermal Area
4.5/5
Great free basic camping spot - perfect location for everything you could want in Rotoura.
It is a car park but great for exploring the town.
Public toilets are clean but literally across the road is the Polynesian spa which is open until 11pm if you want a coffee and the loo in warmth.
It does fill up (even in July!) so would recommend going early!

2.5/5
Roadside camping which we only knew about from this site - no Road signs saying where you go so we had to ask other people who were camping up, who unfortunately also weren't sure!
If you park near the Surf and Life saving place there is clean toilets, a campervan power plug and easy access to the beach but unfortunately we drove away not entirely sure where we had camped was correct!

Kuripapango (Ox Bow) Campsite
4.0/5
We loved this remote campsite - such an incredible place go wake up!
Absolutely huge place and easy access to the water - the view was amazing for the drive in and out as well so if you're looking for a stop in remote nature this should definitely be it!
Not rated 10 due to the toilet which was unfortunately pretty horrible (folk need to close the lid on the long drops!) But it is a great spot for a nature pee!

Hauraki Rail Trail Terminus
3.5/5
Beautiful views out to the water.
Far enough away from the main road.
No toilets or water facilities, but pretty good for a free site.
