Kawatiri Beach Reserve – Westport
4.0/5
Nice spot next to the beach .
Very busy. Would recommend getting in early as it was packed when we arrived at around 6:30. Toilets are clean and close. There’s two parking spots. One to the right and one to the left. Was a few loud vehicles driving fast a bit later on at night but didn’t phase us. Would definitely come back again.

5.0/5
Awesome spot.
Clean long drop toilet. Heaps of space. Nice views opposite the road. Next to a little creek. Was a couple of overnighters with us. Have to take rubbish with you but all in all a great experience. You get the odd truck rolling by at night but didn’t bother us at all. Would come back again.

Hawkes Lookout Carpark
3.5/5
Surprisingly hidden from the road.
Minimal road noise didn’t bother us. Toilets very close however extremely stinky and heaps of flies. We were the only ones there for the night. Toilet gets quite a few visits throughout the afternoon and night as it’s a public toilet. Didn’t bother us. Would stay again. Phone reception was good. Enough space for 6 vans.

4.0/5
Quite close to the main road.
No road noise. We got here at 4:30pm and had no issue getting a spot. Filled up quickly at around 5:30-6 however. Toilets are quite far away but they are very clean and new. Parking spots are clearly marked. Would stay again.

3.5/5
Quiet, off the main road.
Close Portaloos. Rubbish bins. Only rated 7/10 due to the smell of the area was pretty bad.

We arrived in darkness so couldn’t get a good first impression but no other campers were there and there’s no reception so felt a little eerie but decided to stay cause there was good previous reviews
. We didn’t face the toilets as we arrived and the doors were wide open due to no door handles and after further inspection in the morning we’re glad we used our own. Would recommend to use this site if you’re desperate, was super quiet and no noise through the night though.
