North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Tarawera ▷
Rerewhakaaitu, Ash Pit Rd Campsite
This is a nice little camp site by the river.
It's well off the main road so it is a bit of a drive but there is no road noise. There are drop toilets which were fine. There are no shelters for cooking, no sinks and no lights. We did manage to find some water however it's not suitable for drinking. $6 per adult per night. I recommend this site and would return again.

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
MacAndrew Bay: Ralph Ham Park
Pros: Toilets are impeccably clean.
Plenty of light. Wonderful view of Dunedin. Free.
Cons: No cooking allowed. No "personal hygiene" (toothbrushing, face washing etc) allowed. No bench or shelter. Locals honked at us from the road all night. Security came to move us along at 7:30. No stores available to buy dinner. 5 parks only - fills quickly.
This site is scenic and very practical with well maintained facilities but I would not return. The locals do not want this site to be available for freedom camping and don't hesitate to show it.

South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Whatamango Bay Campsite
Very spacious camp ground with a views of the bay or sheltered spot in the trees available if you prefer.
The campsite is pitch black - not a single light. No drinking water available. There are some picnic tables but no shelter for cooking. Flushing toilet was clean. We missed the turn into the site (it's on the right, directly after the bridge). I would not recommend this site for anyone towing a caravan as the road is thin and windy. $6 per adult per night. I recommend this site and would return again.
