Amberley Beach Campground sits at Amberley Beach in the Hurunui District, about one hour north of Christchurch, Canterbury. The campground is divided into North and South ends, both close to the beach and offering easy access to short coastal walks.

It serves as a handy base for exploring the nearby Waipara wine region, surfcasting, and golf. Facilities are basic but functional, including powered and non-powered sites, toilets, and a shower at the South End toilet block with a cubicle for a solar shower.

The campground operates on an honesty-box payment system. Reviewers note it is generally quiet, particularly outside peak evenings, and describe it as a solid budget-friendly stopover.
