Lovely place to stay in napier, clean toilets, good fishing spot right on beach, was handy to shops and bars.

Limited parking spaces here so need to arrive early to secure a spot as there were a couple of campers that parked outside the designated areas that were fined $400 while we were staying here so this spot is checked regularly and monitored by the council , if there's no spots available best to move on as it's not worth the fine there are plenty of other free camping areas close to napier.

Be careful: you are Just allowed to park in the 4!

marked areas. They Check it during the night. You might get a fee of 400 NZD, If you ignore that.

Very nice spot with a nice view. You can Walk along the beach to City center, but it takes a while and parts of the way are going through an industrial area. The place ist quiet, after the Young people left with their Cars and their musik. The Toilettes were okay. Somebody came in the morning to clean it Up.

Nice view of the ocean.

Toilet and an outdoor cold shower. Close to restaurants and bars. Surprisingly quiet.

Winter review: Only 4 marked spots here easy enough for us to get a spot arriving on a Saturday afternoon on the first day of school holidays in July Pretty view of bay Public (flush) toilets right

next to carpark

An easy base from which to explore Napier though it’s a solid 30-40min walk (km) to Marine Parade and all the Art Deco buildings

A bit cheek by jowl with cars but it’s a carpark so that is to be expected

Really lovely place to stay over, right by the beach.

Where you can watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise.

Few shops, cafes and bars nearby.

Just 4 spots for campers so you’ll need to be early. We arrived at 1pm and there was just one space left.

Clean toilets right next to the camping spots

10/10

Just a small car park, with 4 car spaces for campervans.

Beside the water but not exactly scenic, we were unsure why this spot had such a high rating. As soon as night fell a bunch of loud boy racer cars turned up and the people were loud, having some sort of car meet. There are toilets, but that’s about it. Wouldn’t go back.

Awesome spot, large car park with 4 self contained vehicle spaces and nice views over the water.

Few people around at sunset, but the car park was empty overnight. Toilets were clean 👌

Only 4 places so, as others have said, you need to get there early.

Great location, fabulous views, very well maintained toilets are close to the self contained bays. There is also free wifi, although not consistent.

Cafes, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.

Great place to stay if you get a spot, only 4 spaces and we were lucky enough to get one.

Toilet is very nice and clean, outside shower, and free wifi. Beautiful sunrises and sunset!! And close to pubs on the Harbour. 10/10 spot.

A lovely location right on the beach (sunrise was pretty) and with plenty of space for a kick-about with a football.

Public toilets are clean. Some noise from a gathering during the evening but not a problem. Two places to eat within walking distance; one cafe, one restaurant. Probably drive into Napier town rather than walk from here.

About 10 other vans here.

Close to the sea, oh yes on three sides, quiet, plenty of restaurants near by and best of all for us is the Hawkes bay canoe club for going out with the club and canoeing and kayaking.

Being a point there was water around 3 sides of us.

There was one other van parked but room for a least 10 if needed. The toilets seemed clean enough. Very handy to town.
