Edward Baigent Reserve and Camping Ground

A beautiful, little, magical spot with a little stream and drinking water supply.
Very serene spot with great walks, the only downside was the toilet smelled a bit, but what they hey - a great fee spot!

Port Motueka Beach Reserve

Great site, perfect for fishing.
Be warned though, they do enforce the self-contained motorhomes only rule! So if you do not have a toilet in your vehicle, you won't be able to stay.

If you go just beyond the Wai-O-Tapu entrance there is a hot stream meeting a cold one under a bridge, you cannot miss it.

I will try to stop my romanticism of this place get the better of this review.

Tane Mahuta Walk

A shining piece of kiwi history!
Completely non-commercial, it is just an ancient tree in the middle of a forest, the way it should be. If you are in New Zealand, make sure you go.
