West End Carpark, Kaikoura
Fills up way too soon.
I would rather take the one east further down the Peninsula. Same amount of spots bit more quiet spot.
But close to toilet, the beach, city and amenities.
Oh, you have to pay for parking from 08.30-17.30. After that you can freedom camp on 6 spots.

Kina Beach Reserve Camping Ground
I think it was 14$ pppn.
Next to the beach. Cold water showers. Hippy and friendly atmosphere.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Jimmy Armers Beach, Kaikoura
Best spot in town.
Toilets, sunsets, cold water shower, crayfish store. What else can you wish for?
-
South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
Hampshire Holiday Park Wanaka
Expensive campsite for what it's worth.
Albertville has a better vibe and location next to a river, but no warm showers there so we staid here (for too long).

Escape Campervan Rentals
We rented a Self-Contained van for 3.5 weeks (3000km).
The price was very competitive and the van was spacious. Also, the fact that we could sit inside the van during rain was a big pro.
The biggest disadvantage was the fuel usage which was way more then advertised! We used 15 liters per 100km while they said the van would do 10 or 12 liter per 100km. Also, we had a manual car with 280k driven so some bits and pieces weren't working as you'd expect.
So: you get what you pay for: a mediocre van in a beautiful country.

Port Motueka Beach Reserve
Great place next to the sea.
Clean toilets and showers. You do have to get there early as it's very popular. Oh, don't be a douche and listen to music all day on your JBL speakers ✌️

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Harihari ▷
Lake Ianthe Matahi Campsite
Very nice and clean spot next to a lake.
The sandflies will eat you alive though. We had like 30 in our van...

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Abel Tasman Marahau Beach Camp
Cheapest in the area, big places for vans.
1 dollar for a warm shower. You can cook indoors. Next to the sea.

Possum Lodge Motel and Holiday Park
Loved the hippy and relaxed atmosphere there.
Felt like a proper mountain campsite just like in the Alps. ♥️
-
North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Mt Taranaki ▷
Dawson Falls Carparks
Legendary spot.
Staid there with 7 more vans, plenty of space (space for 50 maybe). Toilets were disgusting though. Do watch the stars at night.

Whakapapa Holiday Park
My favourite campsite while is was visiting new Zealand.
Warm showers. Everyone is there for hiking purposes so for the same reasons. Great vibes!
-
North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Whitianga ▷
Tangiora Avenue
You basically have to be here at 8 or 9 in the morning because people are queueing to take your place.
Why? It's next to the beach and there's a shower. 2 places

40 dollars for a spot, cold showers, smelly toilets and too many sandflies.
