Lake Paringa Campsite
Great camp spot.
Beautiful lake. Clean flushing toilets and a sink to do washing up.

Rainforest Retreat
$46 for 2 people in a non-powered van.
The sites are tiny, a space which you would think is just for one camper is in fact for 2 campers so you have no privacy. (I am whispering this to my boyfriend as to not disturb the van next to us!) The kitchen is quite small and there is no freezer. This is completely overpriced for what you get. Showers were good.

This camp spot was great.
Lots of space, clean toilets and a sink next to the train to use for washing up. Amazing and free!

Goat Island Camping & Accommodation
Location is great as it is just down the road from goat island marine reserve.
This is quite a unique camp and has a lot of quirky character, sadly it needs a bit of TLC. The toilets, showers and communal spaces could all do with a good clean. Shower was warm but did not drain well and had to stop the shower so the water didn't overflow the base. Also on their website it says November is low season however we were charged full summer prices. ($20pp) I queried this and they said we were in the summer season. We were also looking forward to using the BBQs which are mentioned on their website. They had 2 very old broken ones. Again I queried this and they said no BBQs work and other people tend to use the kitchen. Their website needs to be updated and customer service needs to be improved.

Kai Iwi Lakes Campsite
Spectacular camping spot.
Beautiful lake side location. Clean flush toilets and showers. ($2 for a warm shower or free cold showers) $15 pp non-powered site. Simply lovely, great spot to swim or kayak. Maybe a bit more expensive than others with similar facilities but happy to pay it for the location.

Tapotupotu Campsite
Beautiful spot right near the beach.
We were here on the labor day bank holiday and it was busy but still enough room for all. Great location to enjoy the beach and a spot of fishing off the rocks. We also walked from here to the lighthouse which was a spectacular walk about 2 hours each way. Long drop toilets and cold showers were fine. Lots of people using the small toilet sink to wash up dishes, we had a sink in our van so didn't need to queue for this.

Maitai Bay Campsite
Great location right next to the beach.
Flush toilets in a block near the beach with outside cold showers. Lots of flies around at night time and also some kids making a nuisance nearby at night. The camp backs on to a public road and some people (kids?) threw rocks and one hit our van and then ran off up the road. We told the guy who is the ranger there and he said it is a common problem. If we had known before we would have not camped up near that road side.
