Moetapu Bay Campsite
Moetapu Bay Campsite
Moetapu Bay Campsite is a small DOC standard campsite tucked into Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere in the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island.
It is a tent-only site with just four non-powered pitches, reached via a 200-metre downhill walk from the roadside parking area on Moetapu Bay Road, off Kenepuru Road. Facilities are basic, with a toilet and non-treated water available.
Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs require a DOC permit. The bay offers a scenic setting well suited to swimming, fishing, and boating.
The surrounding area features a gravel and sandy beach to the north and a second beach to the west, with the campsite sitting in between.
Note that the site is subject to flooding during king tides, and travellers should check current road conditions before visiting, as Kenepuru Road and its side roads can be restricted at times.
