Great freedom spot next to the bmx track.
Sign where to park. Rubbish bin onsite. 25 min walk to town or ten minutes to the dairy. Estuary 1 hour walking track along river onsite, as well as swings and playing field. Dogs are allowed on a lead. Busy spot during the day with sports or dog walkers.
Blessed you can stay here for 4 nights.
Beautiful mountain views.

Greerton Park
Great freedom camp, not many parks.
At a squeeze 5 can park. Wish they would trim the trees, hard to park a bus on the available car spots, as it's under trees and next to rails. Rubbish bins and toilets onsite.was told toilets close at night. Security comes around and registers your vechile bout 9pm, plus moves on non self contained. Greerton shops and dump station up the road. Dogs allowed on lead, great dog walking area. Sports grounds can get busy.

Centennial Park
Stayed here for 1 night was told it would be noisey as its close to the main road, it wasn't.
It's one large carpark, only one area for us well sign posted next to the rubbish bin. Only down side is that the freedom camp area isn't totally flat and goes on a slant down a hill. So park up at the flat end. Walking distance across the field to the bakery and even town. Dogs on leads seemed to be welcomed.

This dump station has no turn around and two bays to park on, so you either have to back in or out or drive in forward and back out.
Portable water available at the end and rubbish bin onsite.
Dump trap has bars over it and no hose to wash down.
Warning on the metal lid of the dump station it's really heavy I struggled to lift it and put it down. You could easily drop it on ones foot. Plus there's a bolt that holds it up, but when you undo the bolt make sure your holding the lid more in the middle, other wise the weight of it will make you drop it. Ouch

Wairakei BP
Disappointed as It was blocked and over flowing with shite.
This happens often.
I had to go to Taupo.
You could see paper towels and baby wipes floating, of course blocking the dumpstation, I was told the plumber just came out and if this continues to happen we may loose this site. Theirs no portable water, oltheir is rubbish bins and the BP station.

Lovely spot to Park during the day with public toilets and a rubbish bin and walks, stayed one night of the 3.
Had a terrible night sleep, great spot for cars doing donouts at the entrance wee hours of Wednesday, police came out at 11pm, cars driving on the green lawn in front of carpark after midnight. Security camera onsite. Was told by local I-site it's not safe for freedom camping anymore as druggies go there and didn't recommend parking there on your own.
