Very clean and very quiet.
Had the whole place to ourselves.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Geraldine ▷
Waihi Gorge Campsite
Beautiful spot by the river.
Very friendly caretaker. Toilets flush and clean. Great spot for a night or two and close to town.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Arthur's Pass ▷
Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
Easy walk, stunning views.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Hokitika ▷
Lake Mahinapua Campsite
One of the best DOC sites we visited.
Only a few other campers there. Toilets were clean and there was water available. The views of the snow capped mountains were fantastic. Short drive through what seemed like a dodgy forest at night was beautiful during the day. 10/10 for views.

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Franz Josef ▷
Otto/MacDonalds Campsite
Flush toilets were clean.
Views of the lake were amazing - but not from where we parked. First time we had to deal with sandflies. Road noise minimal.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Haast ▷
Haast River Motels and Holiday Park
Basic sites but good showers and clean facilities.
Staff helpful and friendly.
-
South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Lake Tekapo ▷
Lake McGregor
Very basic.
Good to have solid gravel parking spot especially when it snowed hard. Long drop toilets were smelly but otherwise was ok. Nice scenery and the night sky is amazing on a clear night.
-
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Hampshire Holiday Park Queenstown
Friendly staff.
Facilities were ok. Park feels like a carpark, lots of campers packed in. Facilities were cleanish but due to heavy use got a bit dirty. Long wait for one tight dump station. Very convenient for walking to town.
-
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Twelve Mile Delta Campsite
Beautiful views and walks.
Close to Queenstown. DOC pass apparently no longer accepted so had to pay caretaker doing the rounds at night. Basic facilities with long drop toilets - they were clean and didn't smell.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Greymouth ▷
Jacksons Retreat Campervan Holiday Park
Beautiful spot.
Had the place to ourselves. Super friendly staff and a great place to relax and explore. One of the best paid spots we stayed at. The little grocery store was very helpful.
-

Hampshire Holiday Park Wanaka
Basic sites but clean facilities.
Super close to great pubs and restaurants. Views were excellent. Public dump station right outside.
-
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Methven ▷
Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground
Picturesque spot.
Main camp site closed for winter but the ones open were good. Road isn't too busy at night so road noise wasn't a problem. Toilets flush but shared as it is a rest area as well so not the best we saw. Otherwise good with a few nice short walks nearby.

Views not as great as Franz Josef. Big uphill near the viewing point and clearly some recent slips...stick to the well marked track.
-
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Glenorchy ▷
Kinloch Campsite

Great views. Long drop toilet quite smelly. Good to have lodge nearby - staff member was very friendly. Mulled wine delicious on a rainy evening.

Lovely staff, van was great, everything as planned and hoped for.
Few minor issues with van (lights inside...easily fixed with no fuss).
