In the mid of the Tāwharanui Regional Park we spend 2 days on a D.O.C. (Department of Conservation) camp ground. Your vehicle has to be self-contained to be allowed on this campground and beside long drops (pit toilets) there are no facilities.

But you have lots of space and there’s nothing but nature surrounding you! 🌿

Besides swimming and boogie boarding in the beautiful Pacific Ocean we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets as well as excellent walks for bird watching. 🐧🐦🐤🐥

Actually the natural reserve is famous with ornithologist. You can easily spend some more days on the peninsula…
