4.5/5

Stunning bay in the quieter northern reaches of the park.
Walking and Kayaking

Campsite is set back from the beach. It's one of the less visited campsites in the Abel Tasman, so if you like solitude, then here's where you're more likely to find it. Flush toilets are a treat at such an isolated spot :)
