Welcome to New Zealand's most comprehensive database of freely available camping information. This is the only travel map of its kind in NZ.
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.

Fantastic campsite for our caravan trip.
Run by a lovely lady(Jenny) and only $15 per person per night. Fresh water and the cleanest long drop toilets I’ve seen. Great place to stay

On the sign it says 5$ per person but we had to pay 15€$ so 30$ which i think is a lot.

Bit steep given the facilities. 2 unisex toilets and an outdoor sink to wash hands. Has drinking water. Right beside the beach with a nice view of bay.

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is now $14 per adult 🎈🎈🎈 Still reasonable I think, but be aware that the updated "taped-over" price of $10 is itself out of date now 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

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.
