This campsite was really beautiful.
Right next to the beach (not sand though) and a little stream, very quiet.
The only annoying thing was the Weka. Watch out for him, he'll steal rubbish, cookies, tobacco and food!
Water is drinkable without treating.

Overcrowded if you arrive late so the spot for our tent was a mix of soil and rock.
That was not a restfull night..... toilet and water are okay.
