Best places: Campgrounds in New Zealand

😠 Had an awful experience here recently - Initially we were put onto an empty area down by the playground only to find out once we had put up our tents that there was raw sewage leaking at our feet... The owner tried to move us approx 10m to the side which we declined as who wants to be anywhere near...

Forest area in the foothills of the Tararua mountains, popular for camping, hiking & river swimming.

👍👍 Lovely place to stay! The beach is just few steps away and what a beach! All clean and organised, nice, professional and helpful staff. Beach volleyball and tennis courts available, few meters from nice cafe, dairy and surf club. Nice walks, cyclovia to the main town. Dogs are allowed in a good part...

Simple cabins, some with kitchenettes, plus a kitchen, an outdoor pool, a BBQ area & a campsite.

👍👍 Great place, camped here for one night and wish I had stayed longer! Nice location, friendly staff, cafe with good food and clean facilities with nice hot showers. It’s a bit pricey for just camping but worth it, highly recommend!

👍👍 I came and stayed with a friend last minute. Allowed us to stay anywhere we could find. Clean toilets and an awesome vibe. Beach access is super easy. Sorry I got my car stuck at tip road.

👍👍 Very good unpowered sites, considering the price. Kitchen, shower, laundry and TV room facilities are clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. The showers became a little soiled in the morning until after checkout. Good Wifi

👍 My family of 5 stayed 4 nights 5 days here in the motel style rooms, it was perfect for us and plenty of space. It had everything we needed however the electric pan could do with replacing! The laundry was excellent and affordable. My kids enjoyed the spa and pool however I didn't appreciate adults...

Simple cottages & villas in a park setting, offering beach access, a playground & a BBQ area.

👍 It's a nice campground, that is close to the awesome beach and a playground (less than 5 min. walking). The facilities are very clean. But it is crowded and the sites are narrow. You might have to wait for using showers and kitchen. It has a small jumping pillow.

👍👍 'Ray' Rest' one of many thousands of free access camping spots for self contained camper vehicles in Aotearoa. This camp location is in Miranda in the Firth of Thames, the beach and tidal changes are impressive here as the waters are shallow. The mud flats are excellent as is the bird and sea life...
