Pleasant and basic flat area right on the water.
A fair amount of spots but fills up. Clean restrooms and nice beach to walk on.
-
2.5/5
No water available on 17/03/2024 (the date we camped).
Not sure how long this will be in place for but we asked locals and apparently there's a water shortage. Come prepared!
Otherwise it's a nice campground.

Nice place, lot of space for campervans.
We had a lovely walk along the beach and the cliffs were stunning. Beautiful sunset from the van. Long drop toilets and rubbish.

Found sheltered spot out of weather.
Lovely scenery. Level site. Longdrop toilet clean near playground. Didn’t quite get to see shipwreck. Golf course on hill had lovely views. Free and good for a stop over.

Big flat space right next to the ocean for self contained campers.
There are tables and very clean toilets. Good overnight stay

Plenty of space here.
Park up right along the beach front and watch the sunset from the comfort of your camper. Toilets in the playground next door are very clean and tidy.

Probably our favourite campground of a six week trip.
Such a beautiful location. Laid back and quite even though quite busy. Basic but clean toilets. There is recycling here. And a great cafe for breakfast down the street. But highlights are the beach, seabirds and sunrise.

Awesome flat spots right on the inlet beach.
So quiet and peaceful, mostly sheltered from the wind. Great beach walk to the mouth of the inlet. Toilets 4/5. Rubbish station which is super useful. Beautiful sunset too.

A lovely spot to stop, very clean drop toilets, lots of information about the area and plenty of wildlife too.
There are 2 post which you have to park between. We saw the southern lights there day 2. Plenty of bin by the toilets.

Grassy area.
2 toilets. Quite full but quiet. On edge of inlet so nice walks nearby. No water. Great overnight stop.

Great wee grass camp.
Seems to be no water. The tank at the hall is not connected anymore. Drove 10km each way to PDS for water at Tokanui. Easy though

Lovely spot with a perfect view.
2 toilets, no shower and no kitchen area.
A bit too busy, but perfect for a free spot.

Beautifull place to see a sunset by the sea.
Slide of the road, but it's quiet.
Lot of place and good facilities

Very exposed.
We suffered from very high winds when we camped here. If the weather is set to turn nasty, I would recommend looking elsewhere. We sneakily put our campervan between the line of campers to seek some shelter from the wind!
It must have beautiful views on a clear day. And a good location for the Catlins. Toilets very clean and rubbish facilities available. Be careful to park in the area for camping ONLY, we heard that people get fined for parking on the other side of the car park.

A large strip of grass on the edge of the river, plenty of parking.
Toilets ok, water available. Information boards on the areas history .Cafe not far down the road. If the weather is good a great spot but little shelter from the wind. We did a bike ride up to the cliffs and then to Waipahu Point then next day. Nice walk along the beach by the camp.
