Katipo Creek Shelter campsite | Heaphy Track

Katipo Creek Shelter campsite is one of a few campsites on the Heaphy Track with this 1970s style of shelter with a water tank and sink bench out the back. Not quite on the beach but it isn’t far away.

Overall relatively exposed to the weather and somewhat lumpy campsites.
