4.5/5
Lovely little campsite with clean dry toilets next to the lake.
No sandflies but lots of ducks;) not many places to pitch the tent so try to arrive early (we were here at 2pm and it was pretty empty but at around 7pm it was quite full). The campsite is only $5 per person!!

Round Bush Campsite

Heaps of sandflies!
But beautiful place, the lake surrounded by the mountains in the middle of nowhere is just stunning! No water supply, so bring your own! Clean toilets and all of that just for a donation!

White Horse Hill Campground
5.0/5
$13 for a night, kitchen (you need your own stove), toilets and drinking water right next to the camping site, good shelter spots but windy anyway.
A lot of tracks start right from the campsite:)! Showers are at the little village available for $2 for 5 minutes.

Marble Hill Campsite
4.5/5
$8 for a nice spot close to the river!
There were toilets and water supply but no shower, just to let you guys know;) the campsite is really nice we had a spot with swing next to it:)
There are heaps of sandflies in the morning, but of you cover yourself up that's not such a big problem then!

Spring Creek Holiday Park
4.5/5
The only thing is, you have got to pay for a hot shower, but only $1.
The rest is just awesome! You got a pool that is situated in the sun! So end of November no problem to jump in! And it lies next to the river:) People are nice! Everything is clean! I can recommend this campsite!

Putangirua Pinnacles Campsite
4.5/5
Great little hidden campsite next to a nice walk to the pinnacles!
You can walk along the stream or walk up the hill, it doesn't matter where you start cause you can combine both via a loop! There are no showers and only two toilets but there were not too many people so it was ok:) I can totally recommend it!!

Cape Palliser
5.0/5
No showers but guys, it is for free!!!
You can give a donation, which I did, cause it is just so amazing! You camp right next to the ocean from where you can see a beautiful sunset! There are two toilets, no running water! So bring your own water! It is very close to the seals and also not far away from the pinnacles!

The only bad thing is, that it costs $20 a night per person!
The rest is good, access to beach, big lounge and kitchen and clean facilities!

Paihia TOP 10 Holiday Park
4.5/5
It's really nice here!
It is very clean, you can have warm showers and you got free internet! You camp directly at the ocean and so got a good view. The only thing...it is expensive for backpackers, $20 each!
