Waimaru Campsite
Waimaru Campsite
Waimaru Campsite is an isolated road-end campsite situated in the outer Pelorus Sound, within the Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere and Kenepuru Sound area of the Marlborough region.
Managed by the Department of Conservation, it offers 30 non-powered tent sites and is well suited to those seeking genuine remoteness near the water.
The surrounding turquoise waters and lush green surroundings add to its appeal for nature lovers, with the beach a short walk away. Access is via a gravel, narrow, and winding road off Kenepuru Road, following Manaroa Road and Clova Bay Road to the end.
Boat access is not advisable due to tidal conditions and rough terrain between the sea and the campsite. Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs are not allowed. Bookings are required.
