Bowentown Beach Holiday Park
5.0/5
Excellent campground, host and facilities.
We parked our caravans on the premium "beach view" sites. However, these are better suited to campervans than caravans, as backing onto the sites was a bit tricky. These sites are also more exposed to wind.

Tawharanui Regional Park Camping Ground
4.5/5
Great campsite and location although only basic amenities ( water and long drops).
Plenty of superb walks and safe swimming beach ( but no surf patrol). You need to book a site to get codes to enter campground, but once there its pick your own site. Can be quite busy. Access road to the Regional Park entrance is fully sealed.

Waikawau Bay Campsite
5.0/5
Stayed 4 nights in early December.
Excellent ablution blocks withlong drops and cold showers or bring your own solar shower. Plenty of fresh water although signs warn to boil it first. Powered sites are at the Eastern- most area. Wonderful ambience, lots of shelter trees and a stunning beach. Some low-lying sites are subject to flooding from the small streams within the campground. Ranger on site plus a small shop (but open only during summer peak season so range on sale unknown). Best access is via Colville settlement ( about 7km of gravel road that had been recently graded Dec/23). Would certainly revisit.
