We accidentally stayed on this side of Abel Tasman Nat Park, but we are glad we did.
We wanted to catch the cruises that mostly depart on the east side of the national park (check out Katerikeri). BUT we had a great time exploring Pohara, the beach, Molly B’s and the Farewell Spit (great loop hike with sheep)! We ended up staying two nights and booking a Abel Tasman sea cruise the third day… and just drove around to meet the boat. CJ (at check in) was amazing, knowledgeable and extremely hospitable. Thanks CJ!!

Has a great location right on the beach - the shower block is about 25m from the sand!
I paid $35 to camp in a tent for one night, which seemed relatively expensive. The ground was level and not very stony, so it was a comfortable night.
The kitchen has ovens, hobs, fridges, water boilers. There are no communal crockery or cutlery so you need your own.
You have to pay for showers - they are trying to save water I suppose, at the same time the price to stay is rather high.

Good site right on the beach.
Campsites don’t have a direct view but the beach is a 23 second walk. Facilities are a dated but very clean. Staff was amazing.
Had dinner in Takaka at Roots and lunch the next day at the Mussel Inn. Recommend both.

Spacious powered sites, extremely clean facilities.
Hot showers $0.50 for 6 minutes. Right on the beach, which you can hear from your campsite (even the non 'premium' beach front campsites).
Enjoyed our stay here and would come back in the future.

As beach campsites go this is very good but, inevitably it is busy but it wasn’t noisy after 10.30 the night we were there and really people seemed to be very law abiding.
It’s an excellent beach and the facilities were good and clean. It’s a big site and the pitches area good size.

Terrible place.
we spent one night here and it was far too long. too expensive, everything is extra paid I was surprised that I didn't have to pay extra for chargeing a phone without throw a few dollars to the wall. Super crowded. car by the car can be heard farting in the tent next tent. dirty beach and water. did I mention that it's expensive. every other place nearby seems better !!!

This campsite is located right on the beach athough there is a fence which blocks the view and the prevailing winds.
The staff were very friendly and even offered us delicious apples the locals had given them for campers. The shower is and laundry were clean.
