219 on Johns' Motel and Holiday Park
4.0/5
Nice place, friendly owners, good value, $35 for a powered site for two people.
No free wifi but free hot showers, could do with some heating in the shower room but other than that great value place to stay in Christchurch.
Thanks for your kind review.

Meatworks Beachfront
2.5/5
Absolutely stunning location right on a gorgeous beach with standard, clean enough drop toilet.
The only problem is that the track to get to it is now the main route for all the roadworks vehicles repairing the road north after the earthquake. This meant heavy trucks passing backward and forwards metres away from us all night, we're not normally that bothered by road noise but this was pretty bad. I'd recommend ear plugs or find somewhere else to stay until the road is done. When it is I reckon this place would be 10/10.

5.0/5
Amazing free site!
Huge level carpark with loads of spaces, clean flushing toilets, fresh water, dump station, free excellent wifi, shops/hotel/cafe right across the road, covered area on the station platform with benches & tables for cooking and sink for washing up. Really handy stop between Queenstown and Te Anau. Fantastic that this is all here for free, great job Lumsden!

Hundertwasser Carpark, Kawakawa
3.5/5
Decent free spot to stay on the way up North, not exactly scenic but convenient for Paihia and Waitangi.
Large gravel carpark set behind buildings in the middle of a small town with clean, flushing famous toilets. Quiet at night.

Cascade Creek Campsite
4.0/5
Stunning mountain views, plenty of spaces, really handy for Milford Sound-only 1 hours drive.
Under construction when we were there so no shelter and only one very smelly portaloo type toilet but still worth it for the location. Pretty expensive at $13 per person, honesty box payment system in winter.

Tapotupotu Campsite
4.0/5
Stunning site, amazing views out over deserted beach.
Dirt road access but in good condition, drop toilets pretty clean. Only bad thing was millions of flies trying to get into the van after dark, had to keep all windows & doors closed at all times but not too much of a problem as it was pretty cold in late June!
