★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome location and really chill, only draw back from getting five stars is no drinkable water without boiling first.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place! Great beach for kids to swim in. Facilities are good with lots plotted around the place. Have long drops for toilets but they are far enough to not have to smell it. You'll have to be prepared with food and drinks as it is far from shops. They do they taps that you can use for drinking. You can buy ice at Bland Bay for your chilly bin. Camp host was lovely. Campers were respectful with noise level at night. Lots of native bird life around, ducks accompanying me while I was reading and a family of Quails visiting you everyday! Can't wait to go back again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful campsite, quite a few spots right on the beach front (make sure to book through the DOC website). The road there from SH1 is a 1 hour windy road, so be prepared. Oakura (30 min away) is the closest reasonable sized shop, so I’d recommend coming prepared. There is a small shop that does ice (for $7/bag!), ice cream and some other things at Bland Bay Motor Camp (not listed on google maps), but the lady there was unwelcoming so we left ? The check in hut at the campsite has a deep freezer which you can use to freeze things (ice packs) over night, and also offers 1.5L ice bottles for $1. Showers are cold, but relatively new and clean and have hooks for solar showers. Toilets are long drops, pretty standard. The bay faces west so sunset in the evening. Would recommend the Whangaruru Southern Loop track to explore the area, it’s about 1 hour and there is a bit of up and down hill involved. Note that this bay is rocky/Shelly and not soft yellow sand all around. There are rocks in the middle/north end of the bay, but the south end is where we saw most people swimming. The bay is well protected so the water is calm for kayaking, paddle boarding etc, but the winds do come up over the hills on the east side from the ocean on the other side. Also, 4G reception at the entire campsite!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We LOVE this campsite, and have returned a few times bringing friends. However we stayed this past Waitangi weekend and were horrified by the toilets - they were clean, but the stench was awful and something you would dread facing first thing in the morning! The flies were also unrelenting. I'm not sure if this was down to the unusually high humidity? Or whether the long drops were overdue to be emptied? If the latter I hope this can be rectified so we can stay again. There is a beautiful walk round the headland and kiwi in the bush which you can hear at night. Beautiful spot on a fine (not humid!!) weekend, great for the kids.
