Very large grassy, sandy area with lots of trees!

Pick a sunny or shaded place. Toilets. Honesty box ($5) by toilets or pay the lady in the caravan at the far end. Run by the council who take care of the place! Thumbs up! Thanks! We stayed in January.

One of our favourite campsites, cool concept!

Great bar/restaurant with wood fire. Check out specials! Spaces quite tight but private. Friendly staff. Great base for the glaciers. Only negative: the bathrooms should be checked/cleaned twice a day as there are a lot of people using them! We stayed in January.

Another of our favourite campsites.

Large grassy area to park on, large allocated flat spaces. Nice views to the bay. Quiet. Great showers, warm bathrooms. Wifi extra, works well! Dump station. Nice walks in the area too. Short drive to Akaroa. Friendly managers. We stayed for 4 nights in January.

We loved this spot, one of our favourites from our trip.

Drive up & down the road from the turn off to the power station to find your perfect spot. We had a great place with fantastic views over Lake Pukaki to Mount Cook! Very quiet, can be windy but oh soooo lovely!!

Friendly welcome, would be a very cool budget campsite but all the facilities are very old & quite run down.

Needs a little tender love & then would be great! Good for exploring Waipara wine region.

Get in early for a good level space!

See map by toilets, the whole area is not for freedom camping! Toilets & rubbish bins. We had lovely view over water (first there) by late evening we were 12!! Fish & chip van just by info/museum.

Lucky to get a powered site here (booked the day before).

Good base for exploring Tongariro Nat Park. Nice walks can be done directly from Whakapapa village. But you need to get the shuttle $30 pp return for the Alpine Crossing. Wifi, toilets, shower, (laundry extra), kitchen & bbq. Cost for 2 adults/camper $44, which was ok. The resort needs a little more love....

We stayed in December.

Great spot directly at the beach but very tight space for 4 campers - also noisy during the day/evening with people coming & going.

Toilet & outside cold shower.

Huge parking area on Lake Taupo.

We stayed in December & by evening there were approx. 60 campers there! Despite that quiet to sleep. Biked into Taupo (8km per way, lovely cycle trail that meanders along the lake, great to walk too). We had a perfect spot right on the lake with magnificent views!

Stayed in December, middle of Wanganui, on the RSA car park.

We were lucky to get a power socket (one of two) - offered free by the RSA club! Thanks so much! Go & check your parked ok, have a drink and/or dinner there, say hi to Keely - everyone was very friendly. Wanganui was quite a cool town.

Found it to be quiet despite being next to the road.

One of our favourite spots. Beautiful view across the beach & out to sea. Beach gorgeous, even managed a quick swim! We were alone. Stayed in December.
