    Really beautiful and quiet, small camp. The water is absolutely stunning and it’s nice to just chill and watch the tides change. So many stingrays around the jetty, and it’s so clear you can see so many fish too! Depending on how people park it’s a smallish camp, with two drop toilets (that need to be emptied soon hopefully). We got 2 bars of 4G connection with 2degrees, which was unexpected this far in the hills- but it’s a small town so some signal is expected.

    Lovely little site with lots of rays and a great bay to swim in - no road closure in mid jam, just some traffic lights. Some phone signal, drop toilet, $10pp

    Well worth the drive from SH6. A winding and sometimes steep sealed road with magnificent views. Can confirm the temporary road closure Mon-Fri 9-12 and 1230-3pm 4-12 Sept between Okiwi Bay and Elaine Bay (also traffic lights between Brown River Reserve and Okiwi Bay) The campsite has a great view across the bay and a basic long drop toilet! $10 per person pay at the site. We saw a large ray under the jetty!

    **Road closed from inland between 8am-4pm mon-fri** Beautiful quiet campsite with incredible views over the bay. Highly recommended stay breaking up the drive on the French pass. Water is not for drinking and toilet is a long drop. LOADS of stingrays under decking

    100 % worthy the drive, drive itself is awesome and pretty. Very small campsite, first come, first serve. Drop toilets. Lots of stingrays. Beautiful spot on the lake.

    Beautiful little spot! Drive up through the hills was stunning, windy roads but not bad, paved all the way! Campsite is clean, drop toilets were clean and had toilet paper, not a very busy spot but not empty either so come early to get a nice space, fill out the paperwork at the entrance to pay or you can write in your doc pass number Tonnes of stingrays in the water super cool to see! Some phone service too on 4G

    Superb place to spend the night with clean dry toilets and 2 taps with non-potable water but perfect for rinsing. Numerous rays at the water's edge, quite curious. They seem more active at the end of the day, which is the ideal time to go snorkeling with them! We also saw dolphins in the distance. The price of camping is $10/person/night. The internet network is good with 4G.
