Papatowai Campsite
Not the place to go for a quiet New Years.
Packed in like sardines, very unpleasant for a solo female traveler. Heaps of out of control uni students. Fireworks going off right next to my camper for two hours. Obviously a free for all, do as you like site. If everyone had paid, DOC would have done well but I find it hard to believe they allow fireworks at their sites.
Beautiful surroundings and beach.

Lovely spot in the forest, lots of private spaces to park, heaps of room.
Quiet when I was there. Great place for your dog to go too. Good facilities. Only sounds are the beautiful native birds.
