Observation Beach Campsite

Observation Beach Campsite is a small, paid campsite located within Abel Tasman National Park in the Nelson/Tasman region of New Zealand, managed by the Department of Conservation.

With just six sites, it is one of the more intimate camping options along the park's coastline and is accessible by water only. The campsite sits near Cleopatras Pools, a scenic freshwater swimming spot popular with walkers exploring the area.

Its water-access-only nature makes it a quieter, more secluded choice compared to larger campsites in the park such as Anchorage or Bark Bay.
