Perfect spot on reserve by boat park.
Waterfront sites. In winter sites are limited by the muddy grass only about 4 would fit in approved area that is tarred. Great pub a safe 5 minute walk away. Only downer was boy racers tearing past for a part of the night.

Paihia TOP 10 Holiday Park
Beautiful camp right on water.
Small camp. Great freeshowers and wifi. Lots birds and great walks to Opua or to Pahia. The walk to Pahia even goes by z coffee cart on the next beach for an early morning stroll. Loved this camp. Would be even more amazing in summer with kayaks and swimming.

Kauri Coast TOP 10 Holiday Park
Gorgeous camp in bush surrounded on all sides by streams.
We were here in winter but you can picture how amazing it would be floating along the river in summer. Great communal kitchen lounge and log fire to warm us while watching rugby with other campers. Trounson Kauri Park nearly to visit and do 40 minute easy walk to see giant kauri. At night feed the eels and see the glowworms at the camp. You can walk yourself in Trounsen forest to see kiwi. Need infrared torch.

This site looks to be under repair or renovation as all dug up when we drive past.
Great site though and hope it will remain a freedom camp site as great location on lovely coast.

Maitai Bay Campsite
DOC campsite at end of long drive.
Two beautiful bays to walk and explore. White sand. We stayed in campervan at top site. As it is winter only a few sites that weren't boggy that could be used. Only us and 1 other van. Looks like they allow campers on lower site near toilet block. Resident DOC manger not friendly. Also some not very friendly locals who have access to drive on beach in very unroadworthy vehicles.

We drove here to check it out.
Beautiful sweeping beach with camping at north end for 4 campervan. Peaceful. Lovely beach walk to south end then climb up to view point. You can walk down to next Bay or loop back down the street of beaches. Really lovely spot. Toilet block nearby.

Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park
Clean large camp.
Stayed on elevated site with distant views to water. Free wifi and showers. Good walking distance to Flagstaff hill track and recommend walk to Long Bay in the morning to the coffee cart on beach.

Lovely estuary front site.
Lots of permanent caravans here but heaps of wonderful clean facilities. Only got a 9 because it was the only camp we stayed in that had no free wifi.

Matapouri, Wehiwehi Road Carpark
Favourite beach on our Northland campervanning trip.
Long beach with estuary at the end. You can walk in estuary at low tide. At north end 1 hour round track takes you to headland then beautiful Whale Bay. Accessible only by foot or boat. Lovely walk through Bush and farmland. Peaceful holiday town with a dairy. Clean toilet. Only minus was a visit by boy racers at night doing donuts by vans. Luckily their visit was short. Room for 4 Van's in allocated site. Will return in summer.

Very modern campervan park.
Great facilities clean and would be lovely sitting outside on deck on a warm evening. Most expensive camp we stayed $40 for 2 of us plus $2 for a shower. No offer of glow worms or eels when we visited.

Fox Glacier TOP 10 Holiday Park
Great campervan site.
Each site has own picnic table. Great facilities. Very clean. Kitchen is huge but has nothing in it. You have to supply everything down to pots utensils wash clothes. Very quiet at this time of year. Recommend Lake Matheson walk 10 minutes along road.
