Epic.
Seems like you drive into nowhere then arrive at a car part near a gorgeous deserted beach. Views all around. This would be perfect on a sunny day, wish we got there earlier. Don’t arrive late though, the 15 van max rule is enforced by the grey haired pitchfork brigade that turn up just before dark, after a good nosey around. They didn’t bother us as we got there early, but saw them block the road and turn people away. Guess they are trying to enforce the rules after trying to not have free campsite there. Anyway this place is perfect! Exactly what we were looking for in NZ and I’d encourage anyone to stay there if they get a spot. It was quiet when we arrived around 4pm.
