South Island ▷ Southland ▷ Waikawa ▷
Curio Bay Camping Ground
Well organized campsite.
Amenities accessible with code. Under new management? (= Tumu Toka Curioscape) Expensive but worth it for biological and geological attractions.

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Portobello ▷
Portobello Village Tourist Park
Liked it a lot.
Not brand new but clean and good. Friendly helpful owner. Peninsula much more beautiful than imagined. Portobello, indeed.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Gore Bay Camping Ground
Gore Bay and its campground feels like 1976.
To me that's a good thing. Go there!

It's Top 10, so it's top.

Anatoki Salmon Carpark
Former paddock now in use as surplus parking lot for Anatoki Salmon.
Nice soft grass. Quiet. No amenities. Sign says they'd welcome donation for local charity. Be very aware for sandflies! Me foreigner thought it was just regular flies...

North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui ▷
Durie Hill Elevator
Basically a car parc near memorial and historic elevator.
Great view. No level surface to be found. Public toilet as clean as can be expected from public toilet. Attracts a lot of young people by car after dark for some reason, on a mondaynight. Left.

North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Waiotapu ▷
Lake Ōkaro Reserve
Perfect for a free site.
Costs NZD 8 though. Nevertheless pretty busy come dusk.
Swallow nesting in toilets; bonus. Do stroll around lake: saw owl and hedgehog.

Wharariki Beach Holiday Park
Didn't check amenities here at end of world but would go again just for beautiful surroundings.
Bring your own supplies.

Hinemaiaia Reserve Carparks
Keep going on narrow gravel road.
Spots will pop up on the left. Saw no one for 24 hrs! After that you'll be ready to move on
