North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Wellington ▷
Capital Gateway Motor Inn
As there is no competition in Wellington (three campsites, all expensive and little to offer) you can't really blame them.
On a parking lot opposite the Motel, with two toilets and two showers for men and the same for women, and a overcrowded kitchen, you don't get much for your money.

Wellington Waterfront Motorhome Park
Very near the ferry, but also very near the busy road.
Absolutely nothing but tarmac. The outermost camper is 10 metres away from the traffic-lights. Is this the best Wellington has to offer. The shops and restaurants deserve a better campsite, some campers might consider spending more than one sleepless night in Wellington.
