We spend one night at this great campground.
For just 21 dollars (us being 2 adults and 2 kids) we had a powered site and acces to clean toilets and hot showers at no extra cost.
The campsite is on a well maintained grass field surrounded with trees. The beach is a few minutes walk away.
The facilities are basic, but very clean. You also have a kitchen (no fridge) and places to eat inside, a clothing drying line outside. Easter eggs are the outdoor shower (for a rinse after a salty swim) and a place to clean freshly caught fish.
A wonderful playground is just around the corner and our kids loved to play there. On that spot there are outdoor BBQ's.
In short a great place to stay, for just one night or much longer. To get the access code to the facilities you first pay at the library or contact the phone number written on the door after opening hours.

We loved this beach, it was such great value for money a powered site, toilets and showers for just $20 a night.
No issues with getting a camping spot mid summer.
Beach is so cool to explore especially with kids, lots of caves to walk Inside except when tide is high.
Playground is great for kids but no shelter.
Apparently a good fishing beach , saw a few big snappers being hauled in allthough we had no luck on this visit.
No life guards swim at your own risk.

Loved this spot, so quiet and fabulous star gazing.
Intermittent cell phone coverage, you will need to ring the council for the access code out of hours, weekends when library closed.

Affordable, rustic camping.
$15 per night for a powered camping site. Pay at the library in town. Toilets, hot showers, kitchen facilities (oven, toasters, jugs & microwave) & nostalgic dining hall. Old, but perfectly functional.
Fantastic children's playground. Free gas bbq & two wildfire bbqs. Two interesting beaches.
Cave beach has caves to explore at low tide & a stream for the kiddies to play in. Long beach is calm & great for everyone.

$12 for two in camper.
Basic amenities, seperate hot showers, oven, bring cutlery. Shared large pitch with 4 cars, couple long stays this June. Turn off in Waverley towards coast on sealed road, go left at the cattle-stop to wooden building. Don't forget to pay at library first! Well worth it, cheers Wave-town. No WIFI, who needs it this close to beach and caves.

We stayed here for two nights before Christmas.
The free camping site has a beautiful view over the beach and has awesome sunsets. The beach is an interesting walk with fossils from millions of years ago, petrified forests and caves. There is a free cold shower at the Reserve for after swimming. 10 stars.

Great spot, large grassy sites, no frills but basic amenities all there.
Black sand beaches are a short walk, with caves to explore at low tide. We had high and constant winds but hedges provided some protection.

This is a great site.
We paid $12 for the both of us on a powered site. Although the facilities may not look like much they had great, hot, free showers and not a cold shower block when you got out the shower! Playground and free bbqs a short walk away, right near the beach. Lovely sunset. All grass pitches which could be worth bearing in mind if it has been raining.

Quite possibly my favorite campsite in NZ.
We paid $12 for two people for a powered camper van site, which is on an honesty system by paying at the Library in town. The kitchen was nice for cooking our pasta in, bathrooms were fine, and the location next to a gorgeous black sand beach is great! This was a nice halfway point for us to stop off at for the night between Waitomo and Wellington. Highly recommended for being a great value!

This is a real gem of a campsite.
The place we had to ourselves and we will return, basic but totally great.. Hot showers, good basic powered kitchen.. that is all you need.. A secret special location on the cliffs of Waipipi beach.

What a little gem of a site.
Drove from Wellington and thanks to Rankers found this quiet, grassy site with power and basic facilities all for $12 a van. 9 km's off State Highway 3. Great to watch the sun setting over the sea. Toilets, showers and kitchen basic but all work. Saturday night end January and plenty of space.

A perfect place to stay for a family.
Playground, huge grass areas, $12 per night (powered)! Facilities are basic, but absolutely okay. First enter Waverley, in town you have to do a turn left. Don't use the Lennox Road.
Even Waverley Village is perfect, tennis ground next to a huge playground for all ages.
Take care about the opening hours of the library (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sat. till noon) Sunday closed!

A fantastic sheltered spot, 2 minutes walk from gorgeous Waverley beach, with its black sand and caves.
The campground has well-established trees that provide adequate shelter from southerlies and easterlies. Lovely and quiet when we stayed during a weekend in September. Facilities were older but super tidy. The price is a bargain at $12 for a powered site. There is a playground for kids and BBQ facilities in the domain next door.
