North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Thames ▷
Kauaeranga Kauri Trail (Pinnacles Walk)
'Stairway to Heaven', almost 2/3 of the track you just climb over steps, but it is definitely worth it, the view from the top is great.

North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Waiotapu ▷
Kerosene Creek
Hot spring in the forest, great to take a walk and then regenerate in the flowing hot water.
-
North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Whitianga ▷
Mill Creek Bird & Campervan Park
A bit more expensive compared to DOC campsites ($15) but worth it.
Nice and quiet place (except the sounds of the birds), hot showers, kitchen with everything you need.

North Island ▷ Taupo Region ▷ Taupo ▷
Taupo Information Centre
Best i-Site with a lot of information.

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Tough walk for the first 2 hours, great views and exotic crater on the top!

North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Tarawera ▷
Lake Ōkāreka Campsite
Beautiful place, you camp just on the banks of a great lake, take a morning swim in the fresh clearwater, use the shelter for cooking.

Napier isite Visitor Information Centre
Small but helpful.

North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Thames ▷
Shag Stream Campsite
Great campsite with one toilet only, but next to a clean river with a pool for swimming, drinking water, just a few metres away at DOC.

North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Havelock North ▷
Hawke's Bay Surf School
Great guys, perfect spot for first timers, $40 for 1.5 hours is the cheapest we found.
Did not worry even when I broke the board!

North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Hahei ▷
Cathedral Cove Walk
Nice place, just try to avoid going there in January, it is as crowded as Times Square in New York.
