A huge campsite right next to a beautiful beach and a stream. The Anaura Bay Camping Ground is really popular during the summer months and it is only open from Labour Weekend through until Easter. Dump station facilities are only provided between December and February. Toilets are not provided so please bring your own chemical toilets.
A wicked place for all water sports and bush walking.

Doc campground
Lovely quiet campground, right on safe beach, no toilet you need chemical loo
Water was available, just not drinking water!
Dogs allowed on lead, and off lead on beach
Off the grid type camping
Doc lady was very pleasant, and you need to show you have a chemical loo and vax pass
Would highly recommend this camp ground
For peace and quiet!!

Nice flat campground. Went fishing on the beach and caught some salmon and mullet. Only one other camper there and it was the end of November. No toilets. The trees in the pictures have grown up quite high so not really any water views but they give good protection from bad weather.

Was here in October. Very nice people. Hot shower without time restriction. Toilet, power, nice kitchen, can do a fire on the beach. Nice view.

Lovely setting. Very cramped in peak season. Facilities are old and in serious need of upgrading. Water pressure in showers is non-existent. Management very pleasant and hospitable.

Beautiful beach camp, and only a small charge per night. Rubbish collection 3 times per weeks, good swimming, no toilets.

Cramped in peak season, but a great spot next to a great beach. We didn't stay the night, but are keen to stay another time outside of the Christmas seasoin

Beautiful place direct on the beach. Welcome for a swim in the morning - you must be self-contained.
