Some free camping sites

Otamarakau:  There's a kind of barrier and sign telling people that only campers can come into the area, which gives it some security.  There are usually several other campers there, so that makes it safe.  It's only for self-contained motorhomes because this place only offers land.  No toilets, no running water, no trash collection.

Again, no toilets, no running water, just grass.  It's hard to recognise the exact spot from a satellite photos, but there's a lot of green space along Harbour Road.

The Whakatane Heads
I saw someone camping in a motorhome here last night, and there were no signs saying he couldn't do it. There are public toilets nearby, and a nice view of the river.

A good trick that has worked for us in the past is to sleep rough a few nights, then stay at a nice motel for a night, have a long, hot shower and get ready for the next adventure.
