Lignite Pit Cafe and Secret Garden
Definite a 10.
$5pp. Very beautiful site and the various birdlife are a hoot. "Camp anywhere there's grass." Cafe hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11AM to 5PM but it seems you can come in to camp anytime. There were probably 6 other vehicles Easter Sunday evening (we tented, everyone else slept in vehicles). No showers. Awesome spot.

Puhi Puhi Camping
Basic DOC site.
$6pp. No water supply. Toilet was fine. Very pretty river nearby with low water level at the time. Relatively condensed site had 6ish vehicles that night. Bugs were almost non-existent. Perfectly pleasant but nothing special.

Gunns Historical Hollyford Valley Camp
Definitely recommended.
Showers, bathrooms, kitchen and dining room are all clean and available to all be it tent, cabin, campervan. Family is very friendly, even loaned me a tool when I had a car issue there.
