Pikowai Reserve Camping Ground
3.5/5
Lovely campsite right on the beach, tranquility slightly dampened by noisy road and trains but quieter at night.
Good place for beach fishing. Hot showers available for $1. Good overnight stop.

East Cape Campground
2.5/5
Very, very basic, as others have said it really is just a field.
Cows as neighbours! Toilet wasn't in good condition. You are really just there for the sunrise then we left quite quickly. Did a nice walk along the road and got really close to some fur seals on the track which was cool. Keep a safe distance though.

Waikaremoana Holiday Park
4.0/5
Long, winding, gravel road but worth the trek once you reach the site.
Beautiful lake, popular with fisherman and boats. Very clean and well maintained kitchen, washroom, bathrooms and hot showers. Great walk up to Lake Waikareiti if you get the chance (3hr return from camp).

Amazing spot, clean facilities, long gravel road on way in but well worth it

Stag Pool Carpark
3.5/5
Self-contained vehicles only, no toilets or water supply.
Peaceful spot used only by fishermen when we were there. Perfect for one night stop before Tongariro Crossing to save some money, other accommodation is quite overpriced in area.
