The Port William Campsite is a popular spot with stunning views of the beach and a convenient cooking hut that can accommodate groups of up to 3/4. The campsite is well-located, with nearby Moari Beach Campsite within reach on the first day of a multi-day trip. Reviewers praise the campsite's open space, although caution that it can be windy and sandy. Some mention the presence of sandflies, making it essential to take precautions.
The campsite's shelter is a lifesaver during inclement weather, providing a safe space to set up and take down tents, as well as a convenient spot to hang food to prevent rat infestation. The toilet is also considered to be of a high standard. In terms of wildlife, reviewers have spotted a variety of birds, including tuis, kaka, red-crowned parakeets, and tomtits, and some even mention successful kiwi sightings, especially at night near the hut. While the campsite's only drawback is a noisy door in the hut, overall, Port William Campsite is a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
