Punakaiki Beach Camp
4.0/5
We enjoyed our stay here, good warm shower and clean toilets and kitchen.
Not enough showers and toilets for the whole camp however, there was a long line in the morning. Nice unpowered site right on the beach, we saw a stunning sunset! $20 pppn, happy with the price!

Buller Campground
4.5/5
Really liked this campsite, we were in Buller rather than the Jetty campsite, just a 100m further along the road.
$15 pppn, excellent clean toilets and shower (cold, we didn’t use but spotless inside). Weather was terrible when we were there so Buller was actually better than Jetty as we were a bit protected from the wind! Good cooking shelter if needed, happy with our stay for the price

Well priced at $15pppn.
Friendly host, bit annoying that you had to walk around the whole site to pick a spot before being allowed to drive the van in, just assign them! WiFi across the whole site was a welcome plus. Site is a bit of a maze so the toilets and showers were a bit far away if you didn’t get one of the prize spots. Kitchen was small but looked good. Showers and toilets very clean! bizarre that there were zero bins on site, had to walk down the road or drive to the supermarket to get rid of rubbish? Owner did explain that it was due to recycling being contaminated but still has to be expected that people will produce some amount of trash which should be catered for.
Hi E & P
It is great to hear you found us friendly, and the showers and toilets "very clean", as we want to give guests maximum flexibility we let people choose their own site, every site we have is different as we left as much forest on the site as possible. As you say the site is like a maze (this gives privacy) and so we now encourage guests to walk and choose their site first as people driving around all day looking for the "best" site disturbs other guests. We really want to protect our beautiful part of NZ, and so we all need minimise what goes to landfill and recycle everything possible. Hopefully you noticed that we have two places for cooking.

4.0/5
Smooth check in process, got a nice private patch for our unpowered van.
Clean toilets and quite clean shower, no complaints here. Facilities are quite old, but clean, we used the kitchen and the washing machine with no issues. Bit of an unusual atmosphere, maybe because there is a lot of long termers? Lost a couple of points because of the sheer amount of signs around laying down the rules, written in sharpie on the walls and all! All in all, very good and would recommend
