Kenepuru Head Campsite
Kenepuru Head Campsite
Kenepuru Head Campsite is a DOC-managed campground situated at the end of Kenepuru Sound in the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island.
It is reached by turning off Queen Charlotte Drive at Linkwater onto Kenepuru Road and following the sealed but narrow, winding road for approximately 40 kilometres. The closest boat launching ramp is at Sandy Bay, about 2. 5 kilometres before the camp.
The campsite occupies a picturesque, flat setting and serves as a popular base for boating, fishing, sea-kayaking, walking, and mountain biking on the nearby Queen Charlotte Track. Facilities include a toilet block, cold showers, and a cooking shelter.
Bookings are required and can be made online; a DOC Campsite Pass is accepted here.
