Information

DOC campsite, small fee, basic facilities

A small, but gorgeous campsite right on the beach in the Abel Tasman National Park. It is situated on the Mosquito Bay to Awaroa section of the Coastal Track.

There is no drive in access, just walk, kayak or aqua taxi.

Since this is part of a Great Walk it requires bookings year round.

Walking
Fantastic little campsite that's tucked quietly away from the busier Onetahuti coming and goings. One of my fav's in the park and if you've made it here then you've already had a great time strolling past some stunning beaches.

Kayaking
Not only a great overnight spot, but very well situated to access some of the parks kayaking gems close-by to the north and the south.
