Very nice beach but very full car park type campsite.
When we stayed some local youths (non-campers) arrived very late and parked very close to us in their cars. They had a big bonfire, lots of very loud music played out of car speakers and lots of drinking. They then lit bangers and fireworks near to our vehicle and we had to move because of this. If you want to sleep then avoid here! We were parked in one of the grassy spaces as you come in so probably better to be next to lots of other cars in the main section for safety.

We really enjoyed our 3 week trip on the South Island in the Toyota Estima!
The vehicle was the perfect size for the two of us with a comfy bed, lots of space underneath for our bags and a very good kitchen set up in the back. The smaller size of the vehicle was great for some of the twistier NZ roads and everything worked very well for the 3 weeks. It was also nice to have a vehicle without any branding and to rent from a friendly company with excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!
