Great camping spot, showers, beautiful beach.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

- check in with the camp host

**** GATE is LOCKED 9pm - 7 am ****

This was the first DOC site or any site at all that we stayed at in 3 weeks that had a gate. I missed the signs, and the small print on the website booking stating the gate would be locked til 7 am. We had to be at the ferry at 645. Which is why I chose this campsite, the only affordable availability for a nonself contained van (due to new laws) - the 30 min drive to the early ferry was great.

Until we saw the locked gate during departure.

This lead to a very negative interaction with the camp host.

Regardless of my travel experience and due diligence with planning I hit my first snag in 3 weeks of NZ travel.
