Campground in West Coast, West Coast New Zealand
Heaphy Campsite - From $16
Heaphy Campsite This is one of nine Great Walk campsites on the Heaphy Track. It overlooks the Heaphy River mouth, which is an exciting place. The river surges out through a narrow gap into the sea - incoming waves halt the flow and the churning of salt and fresh waters is spectacular. Limestone cliffs and lush tropical forest with nikau palms surround the area.
Bookings are required year round for all huts and campsites on the Heaphy Track. See Fees and bookings.
In Aotearoa New Zealand DOC is focussed on protecting our nature, history and culture. We want to show visitors to public conservation land how to visit the Kiwi way.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Sea coming into river was cool. Sandflie overload so dont forget yr insect repellent
Beautiful hut and campsite. Many sandflies, but not in the hut. The toilets are flush toilets. The hut has room for 32,which seems like a lot. When we were there, it felt quite full with 25.
Lovely site and a perfect overnight trip in and out from Kohaihai. Yes there's sandflies - as everywhere on the west coast! Take long layers and repellant. An incredible sunset, good facilities and an awesome gentle walk in along the coast and bush. Churrr !
Absolutely secret tip, this campground! Direct camping along the riverbed. Fireplace available. Three toilets, which are kept clean. Tip: watch the spectacle when the flood arrives!!! But countless sandflies. That's the price for it...
Agreed --- sandflies are a problem here! Otherwise a very nice place
Beautiful hut and campsite... But many sandflies!!
