North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Whakatane ▷
Riverside Whakatane Holiday Park
A great site if you want a quiet location close to town - walking distance.
Lots of space, some shade. Adequate facilities.
-
North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Stratford ▷
Stratford Kiwi Motels and Holiday Park
OK site, spaces a bit cramped.
A pleasant, but not short, walk into town (15 minutes plus) - though not much to eat when you get there in the evening!
-
North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Gisborne ▷
Waikanae Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
Good holiday site right on the beach (but with secure fencing), walking distance from town centre.
Not crowded, though quite noisy with children. One good toilet block, one rather primitive one.
-
North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Waitomo ▷
Waitomo TOP 10 Holiday Park
Very convenient location, across the road from the I-site, bars and restaurants, and handy for the caves.
Good facilities
-
North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Hamilton ▷
Hamilton City Holiday Park
Quiet friendly site, some way out of town.
Facilities OK.
-
North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Whanganui River TOP 10 Holiday Park
Good location beside the river, though a fair way out of town.
Van sites by the river rather cramped. Good facilities. But our visit was spoiled because they had a large youth group (rowers?), who monopolised the kitchens and the social areas
-
North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Napier ▷
Napier Beach TOP 10
pleasant site, close to road, but no noise problem.
Clean well maintained facilities. Not close to Napier, but big bonus is the winery across the road (5 mins walk) which does superb food and wine (sadly only on lunchtimes and Friday evenings)

North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Hicks Bay ▷
Te Araroa Holiday Park
Quiet site, well shaded, great location 2 minutes walk from the beach.
But facilities have seen better days - some power points, and lights in washrooms not working, No locks on doors in toilets. But the only site for miles around!
