Stunning spot to camp and fish from or use as a base to fish from.
People fishing out of kayaks, tinny, off the beach and with drones......cant say much was caught, but a little.
Shade only at each end under pohutakawa.

Absolutely beautiful spot to listen to the sound of a moody beach and watch the thunderstorms approaching.
Friendly campers and plenty of room to camp.

Good little free camping spot.
Has a rubbish bin available. No toilets so you must use your portable toilet or drive down the road to the public ones. Right on the side of the ocean/lake. Near the road. Some cows chewing on the hill.

Large grassy area, front section looks right onto the water.
No toilets, quiet over night but against the road so heard traffic early morning. Great places and one of the bigger freedom camping spots around

beautiful view of the ocean, few fire pit and flat grassy area.
Literally perfect except NO toilets and road right behind so a lil noisy but mostly quiet at night!

Lovely spot!
There are public toilets on the road, so it takes a few minutes of driving to get to the toilet. There is a bin and the view is stunning. Felt very safe parking here, even though it is next to the road.

Beautiful spot overlooking the sea.
Green grass and easy to find. Plenty of parking for 15 vehicles. Would definitely recommend. No facilities but not needed for self contained.

Really awesome spot, we had great weather and the scenes were amazing.
Stunning sunset and good banter with the oldies fishing. Noise from road wasn’t too bad which was a plus

Just off the road. Quieter in the evenings, less road traffic. Lovely sunsets. Plenty of room

Right on the beachfront with plenty of space.
Take your rod for some fishing. We had a lovely sunset and chat with other campers. Only for self contained campers as no other facilities.

Awesome place to stay.
Safe off road parking but would be good if the ground was level.
Lovely relaxing place and one meets awesome people as well

Backs onto the main road
