A wild, free campsite tucked into the dunes alongside the Koitiata Stream, near the small coastal settlement of Koitiata in the Manawatu-Whanganui region. Access can be tidal, so check the tides before heading in as you may get stuck here for a while. The reward is a genuinely remote feel, with a great beach close by that's perfect for a swim. It's a small, intimate spot with room for only about one vehicle, so don't expect to share it with a crowd. There are no facilities here, so come fully self-sufficient. The setting is exposed, and it can get windy overnight, but on a calm evening it's a quiet, peaceful place to bed down in the middle of nowhere. A simple, scenic overnighter for those who like their camping rugged and off the beaten track.
