Cobden Tiphead (Shipwreck Point) - SC only

Cobden Tiphead (Shipwreck Point) is a freedom camping site for self-contained vehicles only, situated at Cobden Lagoon near Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Access is via Nelson Quay, Cobden, near Jellyman Park.

The maximum stay is three nights, with a limit of ten nights in any calendar month. The site sits right on the seafront and offers sweeping views of the 12 Apostles Range and the Southern Alps, with sunsets reported to be spectacular.
