Kowai Pass Domain Camping Ground
Quiet campsite with great communal cooking and eating facilities, $1 for a hot shower and $10 for two people on an unpowered site.
$5 dollar each for two people in a van for all this is unheard of in NZ ! The facilities are slightly dated but at these prices who cares? It all works and is very clean! Not a sandfly in sight this morning so had breakfast on their sofas on a sun filled porch to birdsong, overlooking a grassy field. Amazing. Definitely recommend.

Greenstone Retreat
Great little character filled campsite (8 cars max?) for $15 pp.
Facilities are super clean and there is a heater in the shower, which are free with the camping fee. Wifi is available if needed at a fee and the spaniel is super cute. Minimal sandflies too, like maybe 10. Would be great if the cooking facility was airtight to avoid sandfly contact altogether and if there was a freezer to refreeze the coolbox cool packs. But then there might not be room for all the lovely hammocks and garden tables and chairs so these are only minor points. Very friendly hostess too! Would and have recommended.
