4.5/5
This campsite was really beautiful.
Right next to the beach (not sand though) and a little stream, very quiet.
The only annoying thing was the Weka. Watch out for him, he'll steal rubbish, cookies, tobacco and food!
Water is drinkable without treating.

2.0/5
Overcrowded if you arrive late so the spot for our tent was a mix of soil and rock.
That was not a restfull night..... toilet and water are okay.
