Cable Bay Holiday Park
What a great location Amazing sea kayaking place but if you want to paddle all around the island go anti clockwise Showers kitchen area very friendly staff Quiet location just listen to the sea
and watch the stars
Well worth the camp fee

South Island ▷ Southland ▷ Gore ▷
Mandeville-Taylor Park
Stopped here for lunch it would be ok for overnight small vans could find a spot off the gravel track otherwise it’s the large grass area by the road
-
South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
McKeown Te Anau Public Dump Station
Easy access but busy.
Just wish hire companies provided the right fittings for their clients oh and also showed them the correct way to re insert the cassette toilet. And why don’t the hire companies tell their clients about rankers app to find these places🤷♂️
Big plus is it’s a very cheap fuel station as well.
I used the bar for an evening meal and 50 mins is a long wait for 4 meals

Hastings A & P Showgrounds
Just drive to the end of the road and there are 2 separate areas one for grey and black water and then the other area for fresh water.
Easy to find, good turning circle.

North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Hastings ▷
Haumoana Domain
Great location with toilets and water.
You can hear the waves crashing on the shore as steep rocky beach.
-
North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Te Awanga ▷
Clifton Road Reserve
First night was nice with the sound of crashing waves and people around us quiet.
Second night not sure why people need me to listen to their music, and then again in the morning. Seems to be a number of permanent campers here. I think the secret is park as far away from the toilets as possible as that is where most of the noisier group camped.

Nice stop, busy but then it is main holiday time.
