5.0/5
What a fabulous find!!
A beautiful outlook across from the sea and cute food stalls selling everything including a glass of wine. Plenty to look at and a farm behind you. A great summer spot highly recommend.

Great spot with fantastic views.
It was 20NZD for the motorhome and well worth it as there were tables and benches to use and a nice grassy area. The free freedom camping spot (Armer's) just across the way is really small so we much preferred this. Easy access to the great walk around the point to the seal colony - there were pups when we were there - a true delight watching them play from afar. We were here late January.

3.5/5
Basically a sheep paddock, no facilities at all (no portaloo as someone else mentioned), no shade, but nicely grassed, across the road from a very rocky beach, 50m walk through the fence & across the paddock
to a bit of beach for swimming & a public toilet.
$25 night per vehicle, you need cash - there's apparently an online booking system but we couldn't get it to work without downloading & registering with yet another app (not really worth the hassle for 1 night!).
We arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday, fabulous weather but no food vans - the gelato van just packing up as we left (so don't rely on being able to buy anything once you're here).

Great view from the campsite, directly at the sea.
It was very peaceful and quiet + lots of space. Very friendly owners as well.
However, theres only one port a loo and it could use a thorough clean. For that price there are better campsites available but its still great for one night.

We absolutely loved this location.
Self Contained vehicles only! Very close to the BBQ Crayfish food truck. Also close to the seal colony walk. Beautiful scenery of the ocean and sheep! There were 3 of us and we just needed to pay $20 to stay the night. They also own a BnB for people who aren't too keen on camping. No power. No dump site. Picnic benches, water for dishes, and a porta loo. Only reason it's not a 10/10 is because the porta loo was a bit dirty and could use a good clean. But other than that amazing, classic Kiwi experience.
