Meatworks
State Highway 1, Kaikōura, New Zealand
Known internationally within the surf community, Meatworks offers a raw and exposed freedom camping experience directly beside one of New Zealand most consistent surf breaks. The rugged coastal environment appeals strongly to campervan travellers chasing waves and ocean focused travel.

About the campsite:
The camping zone is basic and rocky, designated strictly for self contained vehicles. There are no facilities provided, reinforcing the minimalist nature of the location. Surf conditions define daily rhythms here. Early morning paddle outs, sunset sessions and beachside van living create a strong surf culture atmosphere. Coastal walks and photography also attract non surfers.
