Access OK.

I visited in December 2020. Access to upper campsite had been cut by two washouts. In both cases light vehicle access had been restored. While I was there contractors did a major job on Dec 11 so that bigger vehicles can now also access the first site. In fact there are 4 sites. The upper site over looking the mouth of the river has a very small site just off the 'main' road. Then a couple of hundred metres later the site that had been cut off by the washouts. It is quite small and could present a turning problem for larger campervans. I would not recommend caravans.In fact I would not recommend caravans beyond Patarau.

Carrying on to the lower campsite one finds a larger area (also with long drop...but less 'long' now because of use!). Access to the beach from the lower site requires one to ford the river...by foot. Lots of 4WDs and quads go across but a no-no for cars and RVs.

I found another little campsite if one turns left at the bottom of the hill instead of right to the camp area. It is much more sheltered but has no view of the sea or river..though the river is right there, hidden by trees.
