Great private camping spot.

We were there for 2 nights, the 26th and 27th and it's an awesome, remote spot. Open to motor homes and tents.

The spot gets really windy and there isn't much shelter, so if you have a tent you need to work out where the wind's coming from and use you car as a shield. We had our van so positioned it in such a way that it's catch the least wind.

The beach is really nice and although the surf looks really good, there are a lot of rocks so surfing and body boarding is not advised.

It's 6 kms from the lighthouse so if you're feeling adventurous, like we did, walk along the beach and then in the gravel to the lighthouse.

The facilities are basic, there's water which you need to boil before use, the toilets are no longer long drops, so you have some comfort and the showers are cold water only.

No phone reception, and as it's a very basic site, make sure you have all your supplies as the nearest town is Te Araroa which is 13 kms away.

Great spot. Enjoy!
