The Strand

Throughout the beautiful Buller / Kawatiri District overnight parking areas like this one are provided to assist in the preservation of our stunning coast and inland forest areas. Please use these areas and their facilities to protect the environment for those who live here, our visitors, and future generations to come.

You can do your part to help keep this place beautiful by:

•Keeping your stay to a maximum of 2 nights, up to a total of 9 in a month •Using the toilets provided •Not washing directly in the river. Please collect water and dispose of it in your vehicle waste system •Only staying overnight in the designated area, as shown on the map. If it is full, please move to the nearest commercial campground or other accommodation provider •Respecting those you share the site with. Please keep noise to a minimum, and your gear well contained. •Keeping access ways clear for other users •Calling 111 in the event of a fire. Open fires are prohibited at this site. •Rubbish bins for disposal are available in Punakaiki, Westport, Hector, Karamea and Reefton. If the bins are full, please take your rubbish elsewhere as the local birdlife love to spread bags of rubbish around. •Dump stations are available on The Esplanade in Westport, The Strand in Reefton and at the Cobden Bridge in Greymouth.

Our community consider ourselves fortunate to be kaitiaki / guardians of this unique forest, mountain and river environment. We want you to enjoy our place as much as we do, so rather than leave no trace, please leave it better for the locals and visitors that will follow in your footsteps.
