    Superb Free camp! 16 certified locations are available with direct sea views. Just next to the marine reserve where you can watch the wildlife and mountain reliefs falling into the sea. Many walks depart from the camp. Toilets open 24/24h and clean.

    Very nice right on the coast, but accordingly full and early arrival strongly recommended. worse to no reception at all, for clean toilets and the noise of the sea. highly recommended!

    Spectacular spot right beside a beautiful beach. Surprisingly great cellular service. Clean toilets and there was even a mobile cafe parked when we were there. Got a spot at around 3pm and seems to fill up fast. Loved it!

    Stayed for our first two nights in the North Island. Does get windy but a beautiful spot, there’s a small information building with plugs to charge electricals and decent toilets. Had to wait for parked cars to leave in the second day to get a spot.

    Amazing views from this spot. Yes m, very windy. Arrived at 2:30pm on a Tuesday because we have a ferry booked for Wednesday morning. Lots of construction vehicles in parking spots at the entrance resulting day use folks in the freedom camping area. We lucked out that someone was leaving as we pulled in. Did note this trailer set up taking up more than one spot. Older gentleman pulled in and parked his car next to the camper and got inside the camper. Looks like he’s been here a while.

    We arrived around 4 pm and there were plenty of spots. Non self contained folks left later in the evening so spots opened up until about 9 pm. Bathrooms are close and clean. Service with nz one is spotty. It’s very windy but that meant no bugs!

    I arrived around 4pm and there was no available spot so I had to leave for the second freedom campsite in Wellington , Evans Bay Marina. Otherwise, the location is really nice, view is amazing! Make sure you arrive early to get a spot.
