Penguin Bay Campsite is a remote DOC basic campsite on D'Urville Island, within the French Pass and D'Urville Island Scenic Reserves in the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island. The site is free to use, and the DOC Campsite Pass is accepted here.
The campsite is small, with just two tent sites, and sits beside a picturesque stream with views across to the mainland. Its sheltered, coastal setting makes it a popular stop for sea kayakers and boaties. Fires are not permitted at any time.
