Putangirua Pinnacles Campsite

Putangirua Pinnacles Campsite sits beside the Putangirua Stream within the Putangirua Pinnacles Scenic Reserve in the Wairarapa region, near Cape Palliser on New Zealand's North Island.

The site offers views of Cook Strait, with a pebbly beach directly across the road and the dramatic eroded pinnacles looming overhead. From the campsite, visitors can also drive to a nearby seal colony at the Cape Palliser lighthouse.

Managed by the Department of Conservation, the campground offers 50 non-powered and tent sites. Tap water is available on site but is not safe for drinking, so campers are advised to bring their own supply.

Dogs are permitted on a leash in accordance with DOC rules. Bookings are required.
