5.0/5
Wow! Lovely views and sunset in this little spot just off the road.
Not too noisy and we had it to ourselves at the end of January so not busy!
Toilet down the road 2 mins by car or walkable. Very clean.
Cafe and fish and chip shop 5 mins drive away.
A real highlight for us as a free camp spot.

Curio Bay Camping Ground
2.0/5
A big disappointment!
Nowhere near enough showers for this many pitches hence queues 3 or 4 deep in the am. Cafe is very expensive for average grub and credit card surcharge on top! Robbery! WiFi very poor and toilets by the beach are a joke. Yuk! Try elsewhere!

Cooks Beach Resort
5.0/5
Fantastic camp site with modern and updated facilities and beautifully kept.
Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for; lounge, kitchens, laundry, decent shower block (plus another to be updated soon.)
Owners really helpful too with any issues and as it was quiet allowed us to move to a different preferred pitch.
Pool and spa a real bonus after a hot day.
Shops and restaurants a 5 minute walk away. Highly recommended.

Tapotupotu Campsite
4.5/5
A really lovely campsite location with basic but usable facilities.
Warden was very helpful and also had a mini shop with basic provisions of you needed it.
Plenty of space for all sizes of camper/motorhome. Amazing to wake up to as a location.
Gravel track down was fine just take it slow.
