Plan for left-side driving, mountain roads and realistic travel times. Confirm overseas-licence entitlement and November 2026 transition details with NZTA.
Tent camping beside Te Muri Beach, with treated bore water and non-flush toilets, currently reached by boat.
The overland approach is closed until 19 December 2026 according to the current page. Confirm boat landing arrangements rather than relying on the usual walking route.
The normal route crosses Te Muri Estuary around low tide. Keep tents within the designated campground rather than on the foreshore, and arrange the return crossing too.
Check the official campsite information before travelling. The source-check date is not live availability or an assurance that access conditions are unchanged.
