Information
A very basic camping ground for $10 per person, per night. Situated away from the surf at Ocean Beach. A great place to watch a west coast sunset.
This campground was once known as Riria Kereopa Memorial Drive Camping.
They now have a check-in and booking system at the front gate, similar to the system that DOC uses where you fill-out a form and drop it in the box provided.

Has hot showers for $1 for like 3 minutes which was so nice. Plenty of room. Close to the beach. Only thing was there were a lot of rats around.

Two of us camped overnight. Price was good. Good company, and full with orderly and co-operating campers. Experience was spoilt by overloaded sewer from toilet block so that toilets were not flushing. I reported this to the staff in the hut on the gate. I recommend that the sewer be upgraded or not so many campers be allowed to stay.

Great place to stay, 20 mins easy stroll across the paddock and air strip to town. $10 per night per person, easy site check in when unmanned via the pay in envelope and site number tag system. Operators are around late afternoon around 5pm to assign additional sites. Cold and $1 coin hot showers. Tidy facilities, no kitchen. Similar to our DOC run sites.

A great place to camp.
Toilets and showers leave a little to be desired but for $10 a night it didn't matter. Great spot next to the beach.
Not far to Raglan and the surf beaches. Huge site was completely booked out for the Easter weekend. Can pay by cash or card. The booth is occupied twice daily and there is a number to text if there is no one there. In response to some of the other reviews left. You can't judge a site on the weather you experienced! I think the site is ran by the marae so take that into account when you stay.

In terms of value for money (other than free!) $10 a night is pretty good. Close to town and raglans great surf spots. Basically a field with about 45 parking spots (no power) with flushing toilets, free cold and $1 hot showers (mechanism was broken when I was there so it was FREE hot showers!) Just up the road is the river mouth where you can watch the sunset and chill out. Friendly owner who is there taking payment till 5pm after which you pay by money in envelope. YOU WILL BE CHECKED so don't try be sneaky. I was happy to stay two nights and would stay again.

$10 per person, per night, close to beach, dirty facilities, but cold showers for free and hot showers for a dollar and water supply. Room to do the dishes. No power.
