Tapotupotu Campsite
4.0/5
Good campsite on the beach but it was very busy when we were there.
The campsite was crammed full every night. If there is a breeze the mosquitos are not to bad at night and we could leave the windows of our van open. Bring lots of water and food as the site is very far from a town. We did the hike to Cape Reinga which is 5km (one way) and took us 3 hours (return). The hike was amazing. It was hard but the views were incredible and well worth it. The cost of the campsite was $13 per person per night which didn’t align with the review of the site.

Very lovely spot to stay the night when we were making our way north.
Picnic tables next to camping spots to cook dinner. The view of the beach was nice and the bathrooms close by.
