Punakaiki Beach Camp sits between the beach and Paparoa National Park on the West Coast, roughly 700 metres north of the Pancake Rocks. The campground offers powered and unpowered sites surrounded by native bush with views of limestone cliffs, plus riverside cabins and self-contained units. Facilities include hot showers, communal kitchens, laundry, and a dump station for guests. The camp serves as a base for exploring the Paparoa Track and the surrounding wilderness, with the beach just a short walk away.
