Okarito Camping Ground
Fantastic coastline with planting all around camp area.
Great walking tracks to enjoy the birdlife.
Nice showers, good shelter but no stove ring.

Puriri Bay (Whangaruru North Head) Campsite
Best things about this site is the AMAZING views you get driving to it and the fact you can back up right onto the bay shore :) Also there is a lovely walk which gives amazing 360 views from the trig
(you get a map on arrival)
But the long gravel road getting to it is pretty awful and the sea gulls were pests.

Beautiful view of the bay on drive down to it.
Stunning beach where you can back up right onto the skirt of it to get the best view to wake up to :)
Really great facilities.

And the good chance to see kiwis! although we only heard them snuffling around!

Maitai Bay Campsite
Really nice twin bays, ideally the site would be a bit closer to the water.
Looks good for swimming although the weather put us off.
Nice big site though and clean facilities.

Pakiri Beach Holiday Park
We couldn't park anywhere near the beach but I don't think that's always the case - we arrived when it was quite busy so we didn't have much choice.
The facilities were fine. The beach is stunning - even with wet and windy weather!

Motutara Farm Camp
The facilities are basic but the site is really really nice - and huge at that!
There are 2 lovely beaches and a bay to enjoy and a beach walk along to local village shop.
