This is a basic campsite in the Hawke's Bay region. Beside the Waikari River, this grassy campsite is a 10 minute walk to the beach for swimming, fishing and boating.
Stay on the banks of the Waikare River with just a 10 minute walk to the beach. Note the 20 minute drive on a gravel road to access this campground.
The campsite and boat ramp is damaged. The boat ramp is unsafe to use.
Working with the community, we are aiming to restore the site and boat ramp.
Parts of the campground can be used, however be mindful that it is covered in silt. Cars can be parked there but apply caution. If it rains, it will become muddy. Vehicles are known to get stuck in those conditions.
