Great stay for the price, check in was easy and simple and a hot shower for 2 dollars was AMAZING.

Also toilets were spotless.

Stayed for 2 nights and our favourite doc so far.

Lots of space but would advise levellers. Clean and unsmelly long drop toilets, cold outdoor showers but does the trick and water. Friendly DOC staff, you can buy ice, and use laundry services. Also there is a place to charge devices but your responsibility! Follow @milly0nthem0ve on IG/YT for all things travel

Beautiful well maintained campsite with con operated hot showers.

The beach is stunning and the grass inside the grounds is good for a tent and bare feet alike. Friendly staff and good location for checking out local beaches and attractions.

Beach front campground with beautiful sunrise views over the bay.

Some spots were quite sandy so careful with heavy RV's. Clean toilets and hot showers (1$ for 2 mins). Some road noise from nearby highway.

Beach is lovely when there is no predators about.

Generators running all day when I was there Informed management management told me that they asked and it was OK for them to do so.

Very much a gay orientated camp Including a daddy's bar 🤮

definitely not family orientated

First night after picking up the camper.

We came to Steve without any experience. He was super friendly and helpful. He explained everything to us. There are no fixed spots on the site, so you can choose the one that suits you best. There are plenty of toilets, hot showers for $2. There are several entrances that lead straight to a wonderful, kilometer-long sandy beach. A fantastic start to your camper vacation.

Plenty of room.

Can almost always find a quiet peaceful spot if you want privacy.

Plenty of fresh drinking water taps. Plenty of cold showers which are free and 3 hot water showers for only $2. Toilets are long drops but very clean, no smells. Absolutely our favourite place.

No kitchen but a good place to do dishes and showers which were like warm during the day or paid hot showers were also nice.

Showers clean but lots of fly’s at night.

Clean drinking water as well as a good recycle and trash dump.

Amazing place.

Sheltered from the wind but a short walk to the most incredible sand-only beach. Coffee place near the entrance that opens at 9 (on weekends) and does real fruit ice cream! We will definitely be back! Also great for bodyboarding in the waves!

Something a little different, a huge area where you can stop and set up wherever you like.

Plenty of clean long drop toilets, fresh water and a minutes walk to the sea across white sands.

Managed by Ray and Cindy, very pleasant hosts. Cost $13 pp a night. We were provided with a rubbish bag and told we could dispose of that and recycled stuff at the exit gate on the way out.

No power but there are hot and cold showers. Very nice.

A beautiful location with tidy but basic facilities (it is a DOC campsite, after all).

No cooking facilities and only cold showers unless you pay for hot. The hosts were lovely and friendly and let us in even though we arrived 15 minutes past office closing hours (at 8:15pm). It was fairly busy for the tail-end of the high season and I expect it is probably packed over summer. A good stopping point halfway between Auckland and the Far North.

Beautiful campsite near the beach.

Very quiet in the beginning of november. At night it is very dark, so bring a torch. A downside was that there were a lot of mosquitos in the toilet facility. $12 per person with a campervan, plus compulsory $2 for a waste bag. Cold shower is free, hot shower an additional $2.

Awesome campsite, right next to the beach.

Came on 1 Jan and there were quite a few empty spaces already. No power, but there are hot showers, and very clean long drop toilets. Very friendly reception. It was very quiet at night even though it was quite busy. I think there is a basic kitchen but we didn't use it.

The beach is lovely though unpatrolled and may not be safe for swimming at times.

Would come back.

Easy access just off of Highway One.

Friendly family running the place. Large area with lots of sites to choose from, some of them quite boggy however so may need to be careful in the rain. Just a minute walk to the beach. Numerous long drop toilet blocks with cold showers, hot ones available for $2. Would stay again.
