β β β β β Beach is incredible, perfect for digging holes. A tad windy. Cold showers were cold. Toilets were magnificent. A lot of youngins running around. Very friendly shop assistant. Lonnnnnnnnnng drive, but worth it. 12/10 would camp again.

β β β β β The facilities at the campsite are all new (as of Feb 2021) and kept clean - we saw the DOC rangers come and clean the toilets during the day. There is a shop open for the summer period (to Waitangi Day) that does ice, bread and other small items. Nearest small grocery store is the Colville General Store (20 min drive), which does pretty much anything you can think of (including ice creams). We stayed at Reyes End, which was protected by trees all around so wind was never a problem. Short 5 min walk to the beach, which was sandy and perfect for swimming, with slightly choppy waves, good for boogie boards. Note the road to the campsite is gravel for 15-20 minutes, expect your car to get dirty. Being so secluded means you canβt get a better spot to stargaze. Overall, lots of space at the campsite and perfect to get away from everyday life - phone coverage is great at the beach but marginal at the campsite itself.

β β β β β Shop only open 26 dec to 30 Jan each year. 10 new toilet/shower blocks, showers are cold but clean, has a rope and pulley to take a solar shower, toilets are great, very clean, some flush toilets closer to the beach on the high ground, neat for back to basics camping, colville is the nearest shop with lots of camping, fishing, food, ice, alcohol and petrol... great shop. The cafe next door sells cold vacuum sealed meat and has a great cooked menu and amazing fruit ice cream. Waikawau beach is great... a safe area for little ones at the southern end. Enjoy.

β β β β β Around 16 KLM of metal road but well worth the drive. A great DOC camp with toilets, water and very short <2 min walk to long sandy safe beach. Big grassy areas to park any sized rig
