On the Wairarapa coast in the Putangirua Pinnacles Scenic Reserve, this campsite sits beside the Putangirua Stream with views of Cook Strait and a pebbly beach just across the road. It's a spacious, well-liked spot that serves as a quiet base for walkers, with plenty of room even though it gets busy over summer. Facilities include non-powered tent sites, flush toilets that visitors note are kept clean, and water from the stream. From here you can walk to the impressive Putangirua Pinnacles - best tackled in the morning - or drive on to the seal colony near Cape Palliser lighthouse. Sunsets from the nearby beach are a real highlight in summer. Dogs are allowed. Note that campfires are not permitted at this campsite.
