Matakohe Holiday Park
3.0/5
Nice well-maintained sites, great views, well equipped kitchen.
Only one shower, small (nice) playground, but with a badly maintained and unsafe trampoline. Only campsite that charges fully for infants, which made it too expensive for us. Paying Top 10 price for way less facilities.

Mt Lees Reserve
4.5/5
More park then parking lot, a fairly large free camping spot.
Well accessible by a sealed road, two entrances, the first (indicating the b&b) takes you to the parking lot, Just drive on a 100 meters, the second is officially the exit, but you can also access here. We didn't have problems finding it in the dark. Toilets are clean, flush, toilet paper and paper towels are provided. There's even a swing for wee kids.
