Kaiteriteri is one of the nation's most popular beaches. The campground's 435 sites are booked out months in advance of Christmas, with many families returning to their same campsite year after year.
Kaiteriteri water supply takes water from a deep bore in Riwaka and is untreated.
Water is supplied to Main Road Riwaka, most of Riwaka-Kaiteriteri Road and as far north as Kaiteriteri-Sandy Bay Road.
The water is currently untreated. All connections are metered.
