Heaphy Campsite sits within Kahurangi National Park on New Zealand's South Island, positioned roughly 500 metres back from the beach and overlooking the mouth of the Heaphy River. It is one of nine Great Walk campsites along the 78.

4-kilometre Heaphy Track, and bookings are required year-round. The setting is dramatic: the river surges through a narrow gap into the Tasman Sea, where incoming waves clash with the freshwater flow in a churning mix of salt and fresh water.

Limestone cliffs and lush lowland forest dense with nikau palms surround the area, giving it a distinctly subtropical feel. All Heaphy Track campsites provide tap water and toilets stocked with toilet paper. Campers are not permitted to use hut facilities.

The river mouth also holds cultural significance, lying at the junction of two historic pounamu (greenstone) trails, with evidence of Māori occupation extending back around 500 years.
