Kina Beach Reserve Camping Ground
Kina Beach Reserve is an awesome spot next to the water. It is split into two: a day area, and a camping area.
Works on a first come, first serve basis. No bookings are possible. This place is understandably busy over the summer season. We recommend you get here early to have the best chance to secure a spot.
It is very tidy and organised and has toilets, recycling, taps and BBQ areas all surrounded by a large grassy area and trees.
The reserve is found on the way to the golf course, past vineyards. It is also close to a wicked berry picking spot off the Ruby Bay Highway and has a corner store nearby.

Lovely spot with lovely people.
Drop toilets are clean, cold showers available and all water is drinkable. You’re right on the beach. $14 is a good price considering most DOC sites are $10-$15 and usually have fewer amenities. I also had a decent phone signal which has not been the case the past few camp sites for me.

The best location we have ever stayed in- not too crowded, 15eur pp, has water, flush toilet and cold showers.
The view to wake up to is fantastic too.

We really enjoyed that nice place on the beach.
Jenny was very nice and came to check in. We payed 14$ each and there is a free cold shower already. Some toilets, and possibilities to wash your dishes and all tabwater is potable. Beautiful sunrise in the morning and having breakfast there.

Nice place, basic facilities but appreciated the large rubbish skip.
(And fresh water taps of course.)
Price is now $14 per adult 🎈🎈🎈 Still reasonable I think, but be aware that the updated "taped-over" price of $10 is itself out of date now 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

$20 for two people for a night.
Owner was friendly and the beachside location is very pleasant.
Has 4 long drop toilets which were in good condition. Also has sink for washing up and drinkable water on-site.

I went here by a lucky accident since all the free spots were full super early in the day.
But I‘m so glad I did that I returned for a second night. When I drove up the first time the sign said full and I was frustrated since I‘d been looking for a while for a place for the night, but the lady who owns this place came up to me and told me she still had a spot and took me right to it. And what a spot! Right on the beach, beautiful sight! 10$/ adult per night, drinking water, a small library, a place to do your dishes and two clean long drops. Got an even better spot for the second night. Really lovely owner and a great spot for a very decent price!

Nice campsite by the beach (quite a Stony beach).
It's now $8pp per night (which we thought was still reasonable for what you get). Long drop toilets, no showers, grassy spot to park on. Has drinking water. Book exchange there also. Lady running it was very friendly.

An awesome campsite - would definitely recommend.
The owners are super nice and the beachside location is both relaxing and secluded. There is drinkable water and two nice toilets (long-drop).

One of our favourite spots!
Such a bargain at $6 p.p, we stayed two nights. The facilities are nice and clean, outdoor shower is just a hose but it's private, and we didn't mind using this. It was refreshing to have a quick shower in the morning. The camp manager is lovely and welcoming. Only a 35 min drive to Marahau where the camping is over priced, so we'll worth staying here instead!!

Beautiful little camp on a gorgeous beach.
Only unpowered sites. $6pp. Very clean long drop toilets. Cute little library area with a big selection of books. Friendly and helpful camp manager. My favourite spot we stayed all week.

Great Place to stay!
What a view. Breakfast on a picnic table watching the sun come up over the ocean. Price has gone up to $6/night for an adult, but still a very good price. Would recommend and would definitely go again.

What a lovely place to stay, the lady who collects the money is so nice, and she keeps it all clean.
Drop toilets not smelly. Right by the beach, we managed to get a sea view while we were there.
Would go back there.

No complaints here!
Weather happened to be terrible so I stayed in my van. Toilets smelled terrible but for $5/adult it’s still a great deal in a pretty spot. All the running water is potable which is nice too!

Super cute campsite on a rocky beach.
Composting toilets, drinking water and sinks for dishes. No showers. Sites aren’t marked so first in, best dressed (or parked). No kidding about the vibe of this place, it’s really great!! Plus doggies are allowed too!!!

Great little spot, if you get there early enough you can get a beachfront spot.
Picnic tables on the beach, 2 toilets blocks (long drop but ok), water for washing dishes and brushing teeth, and a library of lost books looking for love. $5 pppn is an absolute bargain, loved it thanks guys! Newbie UK Jucy campers :)

Fantastic find.
We stayed twice it was so good. Loos were clean.
Drinking water treated to high standards.
For the price 10 out of 10.
There is separate camping for tents across the small stream. Away from the vans and cars.
The lady is very friendly.
