About Schischka Campground

This is a new campground. The campground is alongside the Puhoi River estuary. The Wenderholm beach is approx: 1.5 km by road from the campground. While there are lots of trees through the amenity plantings and larger pohutukawa trees throughout the campground, these will only provide limited shade and wind shelter for a few years.
