3.5/5
Probably the freedom campsite with the best view along New Brighton beach.
Right by the toilets. Great views of the sunrise. The toilets do have the noisiest tap I have ever heard - it sounds like a giant bunker door opening. However, it wasn't used while we were sleeping so didn't disturb us.

4.0/5
Quiet site set quite a way back from the road.
Not too crowded. Views of mountains and cows. NOTE... Nov 22, the toilets have been removed... not sure if they plan to replace them. Café open early for breakfast

Jimmy Armers Beach, Kaikoura
3.5/5
Really hard site to review.
The view is gorgeous. The stalls that set up close by are lovely. The view is amazing. However, the 7am leave time is policed- he is a nice guy and doesn't generally fine but still you need to be showing willing before 7... I'd rather pay the $20 and camp in the field at The Point close by and be able to enjoy waking up close to the ocean rather than rush off partly dressed
