Lignite Pit Cafe and Secret Garden
5.0/5
Definite a 10.
$5pp. Very beautiful site and the various birdlife are a hoot. "Camp anywhere there's grass." Cafe hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11AM to 5PM but it seems you can come in to camp anytime. There were probably 6 other vehicles Easter Sunday evening (we tented, everyone else slept in vehicles). No showers. Awesome spot.

Puhi Puhi Camping
3.5/5
Basic DOC site.
$6pp. No water supply. Toilet was fine. Very pretty river nearby with low water level at the time. Relatively condensed site had 6ish vehicles that night. Bugs were almost non-existent. Perfectly pleasant but nothing special.

Gunns Historical Hollyford Valley Camp
5.0/5
Definitely recommended.
Showers, bathrooms, kitchen and dining room are all clean and available to all be it tent, cabin, campervan. Family is very friendly, even loaned me a tool when I had a car issue there.
