Kellys Bay Reserve Camp

Take the Kellys Bay turnoff as signposted from Pouto Rd. The next 6 km is metal (slow down and take quietly).

This is home to spectacular flocks of oyster catchers, stilts, terns and other sea birds. The camp is a tidy level grassed area across the road from the waters of this quiet sheltered bay.

There are 14 power and 10 non powered sites. Facilities are minimal, water taps and clean long drop toilets only.

A two cubicle shed is provided so you can use your own solar shower.

There is good shell and boat fishing, while the children have a safe swimming beach and colourful play equipment.

Eftpos is provided (Debit card only) and the last stop for petrol is Dargaville, so make sure you have plenty to get you back. The last shop is at Te Kopuru. So please ensure you have plenty of food. Terry and Jenny are your hosts.

Charges: available here, half way down the page.
