Only a few spaces but luckily got one around 4pm. Free and Beautiful views of the beach and snowy mountains. Quiet area and easy walk to shops and restaurants. Toilets are about 5 mins walk away but take care at night as no street lights from this Carpark to them! You also have to leave space at 7am!

Good spot for self contained vans, it’s beautiful, right on the beach. Can get a bit windy, but worth it for the views. The toilet is a 5 minute walk away.

We arrived at 9 p.m. and there were still seats. quiet, direct view of sunrise. 5 minutes from the toilet

Such a nice camping spot! You can park right in front of the sea, the walk to the bathrooms takes two minutes, they’re clean and nice and right in the heart of the town.

You can’t camp here if your van has toilet under the bed. Literally the toilet has to be fully accessible. 4 cars got fine the night I was there hut again every time I come I see converted cars camping there that don’t comply with requirements even though they are so strict here kn Kaikoura and check almost every night

Good place. Right in front of the beach. We saw the beautiful sunrise on the beach. This place is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops :)

Great spot. Good phone signal and quiet at night. Only downside is the toilets are a good 200m walk away into town.

Super nice place but it fills up early. We moved at 7 am. The toilets are a bit of a walk

Lovely spot by the sea! Showed up at 12:30 and all spaces were taken, but some just by cars - when they left we were able to get a spot around 1:30. No warden came by at any point, but us and all other campers left at 7am.

I don't know why the previous comment said camping wasn't allowed; it is, and there are six spots. Excellent location, right next to the beach, toilets not far away, very clean. There's an evening check for certification and a reminder to leave by 7:00 AM the next morning.
