This town is weird. Really dodgy. Just bad vibes as soon as I arrived and then turned around straight after arriving at this camp site. I’m a female solo traveler so gotta be more safe and no one else was there just one random normal car that didn’t look like someone camping in it.

Woken up at 2 AM by a car with its music blasting; the guy was drunk. Lots of noise because of the deer nearby. However, it's a very pretty spot, though the toilets smell really bad.

Very nice place, next to the river, clean long drop toilets. Everything seems nice and pretty, and we didnt want follow other commens opinions but. People are actually strange here. Cars driven by quite questionable individuals pass by, they slow down to check you out (like they are looking for something) and then drive away again and this happens very, very often, like every 15-30 minutes.

The place is great, there are toilets, network and you are by the river. We only met a few families and people who came to walk their dogs. We were not bothered at all at night apart from the deer on the other side of the road but you get used to it. 😊

In itself a good option, free and centrally located. However, we drove back before dark because there were a lot of strange characters sneaking around the parking lot. The place is supposed to be very safe, but we felt very unsafe and drove again.

Nice view on the beach, but the place is more dog park for locals. Be careful in the grassy area for dog sh**. Toilets are available all night.

A beautiful place with a fantastic sunset. There is a toilet, but toilet paper was empty. Unfortunately, young people drove around there in cars, listened to music on loud speakers and drank alcohol. Since it didn't look like they were leaving any time soon and we didn't want any trouble, we moved to the site at the War Memorial, a real shame!

Pretty spot, One clean not smelly long drop! Parking on the grass so currently a swimming pool but managed to find 1 spot on a gravelly bit off the road. Also definitely a boy racer turn around circle but they disappeared by 10pm so was okay.

Pretty decent spot right on the beach. We arrived late on a Tuesday after all of the other sites were closed/empty on the way up from Napier. There were 2 other campers, and a few people stopped in the evening to use the toilets but didn’t bother us, even turned off highbeams! Long drop toilets are fairly clean, although bring toilet paper as I didn’t see any. Only problem was nearby cows moo-ing ALL NIGHT LONG. It must be mating season!

Good spot
