Katipo Creek Shelter campsite | Heaphy Track
Katipo Creek Shelter campsite is one of a few campsites on the Heaphy Track with a 1970s-style shelter, a water tank, and a 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.
