Coes Ford Camping Ground
Nothing much exciting about the camping ground, but toilets were decent and space was good to park and sleep.
Plenty of space and not very full when we were there.

Lake Pukaki Overnight Campervan Parking
Hilly, dirt open spaces with people parking every which way.
Nice lake to camp by but it's a bit of a mess if you arrive late to find level ground. Didn't even try to use the toilets as we were in the top of the sections.

South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Kingston ▷
Kingston Lake Camp
Lots of room, although many spaces aren't level.
Best views go early, of course. Lovely site with grass and trees so you don't feel packed together even though the site can hold a lot of campers. Good toilets.

South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
McKeown Te Anau Public Dump Station
Nice facilities - definitely can be busy and not super easy to queue with different campers having tanks on opposite sides and vans with just cassettes to empty, but went pretty smoothly when we were there

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
Harwood Domain
Great spot if you are heading to/coming from the Royal Albatross Centre or penguin viewing.
Otherwise, it's a long drive out the peninsula. Interesting neighborhood but nice, wooded site. Room for lots of campers. Reasonably level. Nice toilets.

Waihao Box, Willowbridge
You have to be dedicated to get out to this spot, but it was a great place!
You are on a little lake and just a gravel berm (cobbles) away from the ocean. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Very nice and clean toilets. Can hold probably 20. A bit buggy, but as they didn't seem buzzy or bite-y, we weren't too bothered by them. This morning happened to be the one morning when they came early to do work on the berm by the lake but I don't image you'll encounter that very often.
