67 km from Dargaville with 10km of good gravel road, Pouto Point is at the end of the road, but well worth the trip. Peaceful camping with 8 power points, on a flat grassed area that has commanding views over the outer Kaipara Harbour. Here you can watch the sunrise, go swimming, kayaking and fishing or, for landlubbers, hire a quad and explore the thousands of acres of sand dunes. Guided sand safaris are run from the camp. Facilities are in the restored 1879 kauri building, which was New Zealand’s first Custom House. A common room with tables, TV and stereo, plus a well-equipped clean kitchen that has everything you will need. There are very modern clean showers with hot water cost a $1 for 2 minutes. Laundry is $3 per load. New compositing flush toilets have recently been installed. No shopping, fuel or Eftpos here, so come prepared. For intrepid 4 wheel drivers, enquire from John how you can get away from civilization along the 100 km of pristine beach at low tide.
