4.0/5
Nice spot.
Big grassy area to camp in. Big kitchen. Although the stovetops didn't all seem to work? Charleston itself has a really nice beach, and driving up the road from the campground brings you to a beautiful river and big bluffs.
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
3.5/5
Nice spot surrounded by bush.
Lots of wood pigeons and wekas. Only one toilet. No showers or sinks. But possibly being built? Only a short drive to Punakaiki.

5.0/5
Great campsite right by the beach.
You can even book a specific site. Kitchen is well appointed. Good showers. Even a pool. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf.

3.5/5
Good flushing toilets, sinks, picnic tables by the lake.
Quite a bit of traffic noise being right by the highway. Quieter at night.
