4.0/5
No facilities but great spot for an early start to Lake Matheson for those still photos.
Great views of the glacier. Very limited flat areas for larger vehicles.

Hanmer Field Base and Picnic Area
4.0/5
Large flat gravel area with close access to well maintained flush toilets.
Found this spot eventually after being moved on in the night by the very nice security guard. The site is actually Pawsons Road, off to the left next to the fenced compound. Great spot!

No facilities but an awesome place next to the surf with great views.
A few other campervans there when we stayed but there is plenty of room.

Awesome scenic spot right on the beachfront.
We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and the kids found lots of Paua shells. Very basic toilets.

Waikawa Recreation Reserve
3.5/5
This was a nice quiet area beside the harbour.
The family enjoyed the bush walk adjacent to the reserve. Toilets were clean and open all night. Lots of rubbish bins beside toilet blocks for public use. The weren't any shops nearby so it would be advisable to be prepared with food supplies.

Whitestone Stream Bridge
2.5/5
Beautiful scenic spot next to the river however it felt very isolated.
We soon discovered remains of a deer and shotgun shells. We had no problems other than the roar of deer through the night.

Caroline Bay
4.0/5
Fantastic stay.
Our family loved Caroline Bay and would certainly stay here again. We parked near the community hall along with 4 or 5 other campers. There were no signs saying we couldn't camp there but we did discover the next morning that the designated area was on the other side of the park next to the skating rink.
