3.5/5
Large grassy pretty flat site where you decide where to pitch.
Green but no views. Short walk to estuary direct from the site .Basic toilet block with cold water and only one of the loos had any paper left. No potable water or bins. The cafe is nice but closes for food at 3.30. The gypsy automata museum.us5 mins walk away and is brilliant. Worth paying the 10$ to see all the exhibits. Very nice bush walk along old possumers track just over the bridge, returning via beach and old coach road track. Took us about 1.5 hours lots of sandflies so we didn't sit outside the van but then again we're puny English. The ozzies and new Zealanders did. Didn't see the sea lions😔

Wide-open grassy campground, family friendly, easy access to the beach, nice facilities, a little store, and good vibes!
Wonderful, safe, friendly spot!

Great spot super close to the beach.
We tent camped here during a very stormy night and found that there was some surprisingly good bush to protect from the wind. The sights are mostly grass and despite arriving late we were able to find a nice private spot to pitch our tent. Also has a cook shelter, water that needs boiling, and toilets. The convenience store and restaurant at the entrance to the campsite was amazing

After being at Purakaunui Bay for a few nights we headed 20 minutes south to Papatowai.
The campground is fabulous. Really nice little pockets of level, sheltered ground. We pick a corner site so our doggies wouldn’t go mental when people walked past. The easy stroll to the estuary and out to the ocean was fantastic. The toilet/kitchen block was clean. A bonus having a store and food truck onsite. Have to be my new fav place for the moment.

Also lovely quiet site in a great estuary setting.

Amazing spot.
Plenty of room to camp and flushable toilets and an indoor cooking area. The river is right next to you and at low/mid tide the ocean beach is accessible. Listen for sea lions!

Real nice clean camping with flush toilets and nice grassy spots to set up a tent.
It is quite small and seemed very popular so be on time. We got one of the last available spots arriving at 6pm. Great base for discovering the Catlins area. Gas pump up front if your low on gas and even a campsite store that has everything you might need. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Not the place to go for a quiet New Years.
Packed in like sardines, very unpleasant for a solo female traveler. Heaps of out of control uni students. Fireworks going off right next to my camper for two hours. Obviously a free for all, do as you like site. If everyone had paid, DOC would have done well but I find it hard to believe they allow fireworks at their sites.
Beautiful surroundings and beach.

This is a fantastic basic campsite with flushing loos and a kitchen area plus shelter for BYO BBQ.
All were cleaned daily by friendly DOC staff. We had a flat site with trees surrounding that gave some privacy and shelter from the wind. There is no potable water so come prepared. Payment options include online or cash onsite at the registration booth.
Don't come thinking you can buy supplies as it's not currently open and the owner indicated she isn't planning on reopening it in the immediate future. However, you can by fuel using card facility.
Highly recommend a visit to the lost gypsy and coffee cart which are a short walk away as well as the estuary and beach/forest walks.

Great stop off on way through Catlin's.
The campsite has good amenities for a DOC site (proper flushing toilets etc) including a kitchen space and a few benches around the grounds. The local village has a few stores and cafe which are normally open during peak periods.

Nice and quiet site, out the way.
Was there at start of season, with a few people just arriving to settle for a few days, but with the space available everyone was very spread out. Good basic facilities, toilets and indoor seating area.
Nice beach to walk along, with track directly down from campsite. Had fun wandering through village spotting all the home made postboxes.

Lovely, green grassy spot.
Plenty of spaces but some sloping sites - finding a flat spot would be difficult in busy periods. We were there in shoulder season so it was only us and about 3 others! Facilities pretty old but clean. General store and fuel at entrance and short walks to beach nearby.
Only $8 per person - can’t complain!

Reasonably priced campsite, $8 per person, plenty of flush toilets, you can disregard the previous comment about being pit toilets.
Running water with nice roomy washing up facilities. Nice, green, grassy spots. Not too many lights.

Great site with epic beaches views and the best smelling drop toilet I might have ever encountered.
Only downside were all the people who showed up late with their blinding headlights and then left without paying. Shame on them. If you want to enjoy a nice beach with nice toilets please pay the measly $8.

Large grassy pretty flat site where you decide where to pitch.
Green but no views. Short walk to estuary direct from the site .Basic toilet block with cold water and only one of the loos had any paper left. No potable water or bins. The cafe is nice but closes for food at 3.30. The gypsy automata museum.us5 mins walk away and is brilliant. Worth paying the 10$ to see all the exhibits. Very nice bush walk along old possumers track just over the bridge, returning via beach and old coach road track. Took us about 1.5 hours lots of sandflies so we didn't sit outside the van but then again we're puny English. The ozzies and new Zealanders did. Didn't see the sea lions😔

Great spot super close to the beach.
We tent camped here during a very stormy night and found that there was some surprisingly good bush to protect from the wind. The sights are mostly grass and despite arriving late we were able to find a nice private spot to pitch our tent. Also has a cook shelter, water that needs boiling, and toilets. The convenience store and restaurant at the entrance to the campsite was amazing

After being at Purakaunui Bay for a few nights we headed 20 minutes south to Papatowai.
The campground is fabulous. Really nice little pockets of level, sheltered ground. We pick a corner site so our doggies wouldn’t go mental when people walked past. The easy stroll to the estuary and out to the ocean was fantastic. The toilet/kitchen block was clean. A bonus having a store and food truck onsite. Have to be my new fav place for the moment.

Has the best Longdrop loo ever!!
I know! But it’s great. Worth a visit just for that experience!
Also lovely quiet site in a great estuary setting.

Amazing spot.
Plenty of room to camp and flushable toilets and an indoor cooking area. The river is right next to you and at low/mid tide the ocean beach is accessible. Listen for sea lions!

Real nice clean camping with flush toilets and nice grassy spots to set up a tent.
It is quite small and seemed very popular so be on time. We got one of the last available spots arriving at 6pm. Great base for discovering the Catlins area. Gas pump up front if your low on gas and even a campsite store that has everything you might need. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Clean campsite with toilets / cooking space.
Access to estuary and beach from the campsite very much enjoyed. There is a corner store at the entrance to the campsite - a rare sight in the Catlins area. (Wasn't open in sep.22 off season)

Not the place to go for a quiet New Years.
Packed in like sardines, very unpleasant for a solo female traveler. Heaps of out of control uni students. Fireworks going off right next to my camper for two hours. Obviously a free for all, do as you like site. If everyone had paid, DOC would have done well but I find it hard to believe they allow fireworks at their sites.
Beautiful surroundings and beach.

This is a fantastic basic campsite with flushing loos and a kitchen area plus shelter for BYO BBQ.
All were cleaned daily by friendly DOC staff. We had a flat site with trees surrounding that gave some privacy and shelter from the wind. There is no potable water so come prepared. Payment options include online or cash onsite at the registration booth.
Don't come thinking you can buy supplies as it's not currently open and the owner indicated she isn't planning on reopening it in the immediate future. However, you can by fuel using card facility.
Highly recommend a visit to the lost gypsy and coffee cart which are a short walk away as well as the estuary and beach/forest walks.

Great stop off on way through Catlin's.
The campsite has good amenities for a DOC site (proper flushing toilets etc) including a kitchen space and a few benches around the grounds. The local village has a few stores and cafe which are normally open during peak periods.

Nice and quiet site, out the way.
Was there at start of season, with a few people just arriving to settle for a few days, but with the space available everyone was very spread out. Good basic facilities, toilets and indoor seating area.
Nice beach to walk along, with track directly down from campsite. Had fun wandering through village spotting all the home made postboxes.

Lovely, green grassy spot.
Plenty of spaces but some sloping sites - finding a flat spot would be difficult in busy periods. We were there in shoulder season so it was only us and about 3 others! Facilities pretty old but clean. General store and fuel at entrance and short walks to beach nearby.
Only $8 per person - can’t complain!

Reasonably priced campsite, $8 per person, plenty of flush toilets, you can disregard the previous comment about being pit toilets.
Running water with nice roomy washing up facilities. Nice, green, grassy spots. Not too many lights.
