Lowburn Harbour
Great spot!
We stayed here for 3 nights and it was ideal. There's room for about a hundred campers and so much space that you never feel crowded. The only downside is there is no drinking water, dump station and the bins are always full because there's so many people but would absolutely recommend it otherwise just be prepared for the ducks!

Champagne Gully
Lovely place for a night.
There was 6 other campers there but loads of space for us all. Clean bathrooms and sinks although no drinking water. it's by the road but the cars didn't keep us awake. Beautiful to wake up right beside such a gorgeous lake!

Hillview Camping Stay
Initially we thought this was a 10 out of 10.
It was only 10pp for the night, had all the facilities we needed including a 2 dollar shower, accepted EFTPOS, had limited free WiFi and was well maintained. Unfortunately just after checking in we heard someone in the office (either a customer or the owner) scream at someone "DONT TELL ME TO LISTEN YOU F**"ING N***ER". We were so shocked by the profanity and racism that it completely tainted our experience.

Lake Pukaki Overnight Campervan Parking
Great campsite with incredible views!
Rooms for so many campers and tents. There was about 100 cars when we stayed and there was plenty of room for more. No fresh water but there are 3 drop toilets that were clean with toilet paper and hand sanitizer in them. Would definitely stay here again!

Lakes Edge Holiday Park
This place is expensive but as there's no freedom camping you don't have many options.
It was pricey but the facilities were great. My only issue was the showers only stay hot for about 3 or 4 minutes while is annoying considering how much you pay for a night.

Herbert Forest Camping Ground
Couldn't recommend this enough!
It was $12.50 per adult for an unpowered site. Clean bathrooms, rooms for hundreds of campers, nice kitchen facilities and washing machine (but no dryer). The showers were ideal and the site is in a great location!

Bowyers Stream Scenic Reserve
Huge space with loads of room for cars.
Very few flies around which was nice. It's near the road but was really quiet at night and there was only 3 other campers when we stayed. There's no water but there are bins and a ok drop toilet .

Wairau Diversion Reserve
Like the other reviews mention once you turn into the road keep driving right down to the end.
There's so much room down here and plenty of shaded areas to park. You're right beside the river and beach. Great for a little swim to cool off. Its peaceful, has a clean drop toilet but no water source. You're only 15 mins to blenheim town centre so easy to stock up on supplies

Donegal House Irish Hotel
What a gem!
We stayed in a non powered site for 4 nights completely free. Showers are 4 dollars for 4 minutes in really nice well maintained bathrooms. Plenty of places to site by the duck pond. Great place for food and a drink. There is drinking water but it was really warm so we just filled up our water in the isite in town each evening

Robin Hood Bay Campsite
Don't pull into the signposted spot, go 500m up the road to the huge flat green.
You have amazing views of the ocean from here. Sandflies are everywhere so bring repellant. There's a drop toilet in the signposted site which we didn't use. We walked up about 4mins the other direction and used the one there. It was perfect and clean. Only about 4 campers around us so nice and quiet. It is a long gravel road which is windy so be careful. Great spot for a quiet night

Raglan Club
Handy location.
Toilets close in the bar at 10pm but there are public toilets a 5 min walk away. It's quite noisy as there is a pub beside you however we had no trouble sleeping. You can't beat the location, right in the centre of raglan and 2 mins from the beach

Marine Park
Place is in a pretty handy location.
20 min walk to beach front and bars etc. Can get noisy in the morning as people bring their boats into the marine. Also the designated campervan spaces are the far end of the car park from the bathroom
