Information
Between the beach, river and National Park the Punakaiki Beach Camp is truly a paradise holiday destination.
Whether staying in a cabin or powered/ non-powered site you can be sure to hear the ocean crashing and the birds singing. An ideal spot for a couple of nights stay. The camp is beside the beach with tracks going into the National park.
The camp is located 700m south of the Pancake Rocks under magnificent limestone cliffs. We have full kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities available. Hot showers included.

Beauty spot! Good clean bathrooms and kitchen, nice spots to pitch tents that are sheltered from wind. Within walking distance to Pancake Rocks and other activities. Great value, would stay here again and again!

Great place! Loved the area and Debbie was lovely when we checked in. The facilities were clean and fantastic, the showers were really lovely. Our site happened to have a picnic table next to it which was ideal for cooking and coffee in the morning (before the great one we got from the cart on the way out). My only downfall would be getting rushed at by a dog who resided by the car park to the walking track, while a bit scary at the time it wouldn’t stop us from staying again!!

We stayed a few nights here and really enjoyed it. Great location by the river and walking distance to the rocks, cave and beach. The kitchen was a bit cramped + and some of the elements didn't work well so cooking dinner took a bit of patience. But the facilities were clean and tidy and having a dry room to dry out our wet clothes was a nice bonus.

Pros-amazing location
Beautiful grounds
Right on the beach
Friendly staffCons- no hand wash in bathroom on both nights (not on especially with covid around)
A leaking urinal that flooded the bathroom floor. I know it happens but it took a while before they cleaned the floor. Glad I had shoes on. Those were my only qualms. Would stay again.

Friendly staff who recommended some local walks nearby. Bathroom facilities really clean with free hot showers (press button to keep water going). Short drive (or walk) to Pancake Rocks which are must see in Punakaiki.

Nothing to complain really, complete kitchen, warm and great showers, great wifi, steps away from the beach and a good pub next door. All that really close to Punakaiki, hikes, river kayaking, etc

Helpful location for the pancake rocks (a walk away). Close to the beach. Spectacular section of coast with impressive sea and backdrop of hills and forest. Good, clean facilities including cooking and eating area. Our non powered site was grassed with plenty of space. Lulled to sleep by sound of waves.

An absolutely stunning spot near the beach and river with fantastic views of the cliffs. The facilities are a bit old, but obviously well looked after and kept nice and clean. A wonderful spot to relax in. WiFi is only available from the kitchen area if that's something you want.

Its nice when you want to stay close to pencake rocks. Its packed with people and the facilities are slightly to small. Taking this into account the facilities are fairly clean.

We unfortunately had pooring rain so did not spend a lot of time here. Very clean and good facilities. Right on the beach that you hear during the night! Amazing! Good big camper spots! Best camp spot on the west coast drive

We loved this place so much we stayed a couple of nights. The staff were friendly and busy keeping the campground in top order. Has a lovely beach, great views of cliffs, walks. The showers are great and the cooking area good. I'd go back to this one.

Visited Nov 19 - $44 for two people on a powered site.
Fantastic location. The beach is meters away and there are great views of the hills.
Showers are hot and free.
Punakaiki Tavern is a minutes walk away if you want a drink or something to eat.
Very short drive to the amazing Pancake Rocks.
Wifi not brilliant for us but that might be just the site we were on

Totally agree with Lia previous review - thanks as it helped when we were looking around. This one is worth staying for location to the fabulous west coast and the amazing pancake rocks up the road. Wifi is abit hit and miss but site 21/1/2 seem better (we were in 2) not very level sites thou for a camper. Tavern just on the corner was fabulous for a drink, back garden area, game of pool and they do take away alcohol sales
