Waiona Bay Campsite

Waiona Bay Campsite sits within the Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere area of the Marlborough region on New Zealand's South Island, tucked into striking surroundings along Apuau Reach.

The site is managed by the Department of Conservation and is free to use on a first-come, first-served basis, with just two non-powered tent sites available. The campsite draws mostly kayakers but also suits those interested in boating, walking, and hunting.

Drinking water is available on site. Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs are not allowed. Given its remote, rustic character, campers should arrive fully self-sufficient.
