Owen River Reserve Camping Ground
The least value for money of our whole trip.
Neither of the 2 hot showers worked.
Food and beverages at the pub where you pay were expensive.
Points to note - LOTS of sandflies and wasps. Just be prepared and there is no real problem. Wear a face mask to protect against the sandflies.
Nice covered area you can cook in and prepare a tent if you need to.
Down a gravel drive but gentle slope,

Tapawera Campground and Tiny House Park
Nice campground.
A little overpriced, but lots of campgrounds in the South Island are - so normal for this part of New Zealand.
Some facilities are a bit old but perfectly clean and useable.
Staff kind and considerate but will not tolerate inconsiderate campers. Good on them.
Good kitchen.
Good WIFI.

Kina Beach Reserve Camping Ground
Fantastic find.
We stayed twice it was so good. Loos were clean.
Drinking water treated to high standards.
For the price 10 out of 10.
There is separate camping for tents across the small stream. Away from the vans and cars.
The lady is very friendly.

Pakawau Beach Camp
What a great campground.
We ordered a single scoop ice-cream and got a massive tower. ''A hot day'' said the owner. Very friendly staff.
Clean tidy , near the beach. Food in shop was cheaper than local 4 square.
Only blemish was the old facilities which are slowly being upgraded. But I am nit-picking.
