  • Great spot on the beach !

    You have to arrive super early to find a spot. Bathrooms 200m away, cold showers outside.

  • Two spots only so get there early.

    No complaints really, a little bit noisy before dark but was fine through the night. By the beach, recycling bins, no washroom or shower/tap.

  • Sadly only 1 space now for camping as other 6 now just day parks, but was not clearly sign posted as it was behind the 1 camper who was there.

    Ruined by a local driving up at 7am and screaming at all the campers to f off, when confronted he run drove off like a little scared girl in his clapped out 4 x 4

  • What a beautiful spot (for 2 campervans) with a nice ocean view.

    A special surprise for our children was "the beach library" - a little wooden shelf with different sand toys to borrow.

  • Great quiet spot with ocean views.

    No toilets close by. Local RV users will ask non self contained users to move on.

  • Nice area right on the beach front.

    Only 2 parks, so first in.

    For self-contained campers, we had 2 vans park behind one another in the one park, they were overseas girls, quiet, but unfortunately freedom campers are giving all campers a bad name!

    They left early and also left toilet paper on the road way, and no2 on the corner of parking lot with toilet paper, a real shame to come over here to NZ and get free camping only to litter and dump on our land!!!

    Shame on you girls 🀀

  • Supposed to be for 2 campervans according to signage, but at least 4 other campervans showed up after 8pm.

    It's about 20 minutes walk to public toilets. Stayed on a Saturday night, after 11pm teens (assuming) ran around the campervans screaming "Wake up!" Around 3am there was a lot of loud activities of cars driving in and out at high speed while playing loud music. This lasted for almost 2 hours. This freedom camping site seemed good when we first arrived in the afternoon, but turned out to be a hangout for rowdy troublemakers. We did not sleep much due to the chaos.
