Uretiti Beach DOC Campsite

Lovely campsite with access to the beach, nice hot and cold showers. Went there in September so not the peak season which means you can easily have no neighbors so quite a quiet spot to relax. Only downside would be the access from the road (highway) which can be a bit scary as cars go fast. But you just need to be patient and wait for the right moment 😉

Came here for one night in our campervan. Beautiful location, maybe a bit close to the SH1 so offshore wind brings Road noise, but otherwise peaceful and next to a lovely beach. Lots of open space to pick your spot. Facilities are okay and quite basic. At $15 per person it’s really good value. Recommend

What a find! Friendly, helpful staff. Stunning beach, lovely flat camping spots. And of course showers, hot ($2) and cold (free). Facilities are kept clean. The long drop toilets are not smelly.

Uretiti is my favorite DoC campsite. I have been here many times. Over the years I have registered how clever managers can make a difference to a place. Steve and Adrien are simply the best. Help visitors the best they can. They are friendly. Maintenance on the ground is superb. Situated by the sea is an essential part essential for a sun and nature loving Danish “old girl”.

A big and rambling campground. Security gate, clean long drop dunnies, lots of level ground for tents. Just a short walk to the long white sand beach. There are coin-operated hot showers. The others are cold,but who cares in the summer. Powered sites. A low budget bargain place to stay. Short drive to Waipu cove for basic shopping needs. If you can try to park close to the beach, away from the road as there is some traffic noise.

Arrived today and set up the caravan and awning. There are no specific sites just pick your own and pitch. There must be a 3 metre gap between sites.the guy on the mower was very friendly and helpful. 99 percent of the showers are cold but there is one set of hot showers that cost $2. Plenty of water on site and it is safe to drink. All rubbish is pack in a pack out. There is no electricity. No pets, no fires, we are here for a long stay. Unfortunately there is a second to my review and that is don't be here on long weekends as people don't care about distances and pitch where ever they want to. I have 3 fire extinguishers and a very well equipped first aid box Doc you need to administer in a way that it is safe for all campers. I won't be back on a long weekend ever again. I'll pay the difference and stay in a camping ground.

Spacious, well maintained DOC camp that even has hot showers and a laundry. As well as a magnificent beach

Beautiful camp site. Plenty of sites, plenty of space. Even camping here at Christmas which I imagine is one of the busiest times of the year, there was still plenty of spots you could be five meters or more away from your nearest neighbour. Probably one of the best things about this site is it has drinking water on tap. No boil necessary.
