Really just a glorified parking lot, but it is very close to the town and the facilities are squeaky clean, including an unlimited hot shower and a fully furnished kitchen.
Definitely a good deal, that close to the Waitomo caves

This is the biggest of the 3 campsites, the views over the lake are amazing, make sure you walk back to the previous campsite on the road through the track in the forest as it is teeming with birds.
As for facilities, the camp is massive and has water spigots, shelters and cabins to hang your solar shower in the summer.

We stayed at this campground for one night, the place is very pleasant, but be careful with the door, as it closes quite early during the winter, make sure you are given the right code when you register

This is only a parking lot very close to the town, but the views over the river are very nice and there are picnic tables, a kind of kiosk and public toilet in the neighborhood.
Cherry on the cake, it is completely free.

A nice spot, on the shore of the lake, the views are very nice and there is a small shelter for cooking.
