James MacKay campsite | Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park
James MacKay campsite is a fairly exposed campsite with a choice of two bare timber platforms, whacky, eh? With numerous tie-down ropes to secure the tent instead of pegs in the ground.
The open grassy area is a helicopter landing pad where you are not allowed to camp.
