Renwick Domain Carpark
Flat, tarmac surface, clean toilets in the sports block, well lit all night, wide open space all around the rec fields.
Only stay in the numbered spaces close to the car park entry, you can stay until 9am. Small supermarket, nice butchers and bakery, pub, tavern and take away all within walking distance. Thank you Renwick for the great space, we felt welcome and safe and it was blissfully quiet all night.

Island View Reserve, Whangamata
Lovely location, very quiet, set back from beach and protected from the wind by dunes.
Make sure you only stay in specially allocated spaces as council checks in the early hours and issues instant NZD 200.00 fines. Great beach for long walks.

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Cambridge ▷
Horahora Domain
Great free spot for self contained campers.
Lots of space, quiet and ideal for Hobbiton as only 15 minutes drive. Park on grass wherever you like, no hard standing so probably not ideal when it's rained a lot.

Buffalo Beach, Whitianga Beachfront
Great free spot for self contained vehicles!
Fabulous sunrise, quiet even though next to road. Be aware - do not park outside the two bays as instant $200 fines are issued.
