Hawdon Shelter Campsite
4.0/5
Great place very spacious, but can be crowded in times.
We had it once all for ourselves and once there was a bootcamp of the NZ army, the guys were jogging early morning and the Officer was shouting very loud "Everybody silent! People are sleeping"
Very nice people though. Watch out for the rough road, we got a big rock stuck between the back double-tires, long rough roads harbour this risk and then you get stuck.

Just great, good facilities, great sites for tent/ campervan, great short and long walks around, also good to try a one day trip on Heaphy track.

Moonlight Track Carpark
4.5/5
Great place, only friendly gold diggers around.
Good start for moonlight track
ATTENTION warning sign gravel road is not maintained by the council 4wheel drive highly recommended. If you get stuck you are 20 km from the main road and no telephone signal and hardly anyone around to give a hand.

Luggate Cricket Club Camping Ground
0.5/5
We don't share the view of some enthusiastic comments before.
If you like NZ don't go there. Showers may be cheap, but in general a very grubby situation on the edge of a cricket field, VERY noisy, no privacy, no atmosphere and very unfriendly caretakers.
There are few places in this area, I would for sure not choose this one.
