East Cape Campground
4.0/5
Stunning camp spot.
Off grid, next to a river and right on the beach. Surfing and swimming in the river available. No kitchen, however there are bbq plates. Flush toilets and paid hot showers, take $1 coins with you. No lights either so take a torch.

3.0/5
Campsite looks abandoned however kitchen is suitable and has hot wayer showers.
Kiwi squark at night, river would be beautiful on a hot day, eels also in the river. Camped for one night, hundreds of midgeys/sandflies so be prepared.
