Waverley Beach Campground sits on the South Taranaki coast near Tapuarau Lagoon, administered by the South Taranaki District Council.

The site is about 9 km from Waverley township, with a short unsealed walk of less than five minutes leading down to a striking black sand beach featuring sea caves accessible at low tide.

Both powered and non-powered sites are available, with payment accepted online or through a local LibraryPlus branch. An access code for the kitchen and toilet facilities is provided upon payment. The campground is overseen by a custodian during summer months.

Dogs are not permitted, a maximum stay of 50 days applies, and visitors are encouraged to pack out their rubbish.
