At this time of the year I would think you would definitely have to make a booking/site reservation. Have a look here: http://www.doc.govt.nz/documents/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/campsite-information/Waikato%20campsites/fantail-bay.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://www.doc.govt.nz/documents/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/campsite-information/Waikato%20campsites/fantail-bay.pdf ------------- Semper in excreta sumus, solum profundum variat.... |

Great spot with plenty of options, lazy fish from snapper rock to full on leg burners, plus plenty of spots to get the wind behind you or take a drive back and across to Stoney bay if the wind goes west. Take everything plus the kitchen sink, it's a fair drive back to Colville and there ain't much there. As for the fishing there's KY, snaps, trevs and Kings depending on where you go. ------------- I waste most of my money on fishing tackle. The rest I invest in women and booze. |
