The basic East Cape Campground lies in a paddock above the beach and adjacent to Waipapa Stream. It looks out NE over the breakers to the uninterrupted ocean beyond. A small ablution block forms the only facilities – but it looks a lovely spot on a nice day. The creek cuts a small valley immediately the west of the camp, occasional stunted trees hiding in its shelter - limbs from which kids have suspend rope-swings over deep, still river pools. Fees are payable on-site (cash only)
