The Department of Conservation is reopening several northern Coromandel campsites, which have been closed since Cyclone Gabrielle tore through the region in February.

The sites at Fletcher Bay, Port Jackson, Stony Bay, Fantail Bay and Waikawau Bay needed repairing after the storm, and are almost all now ready to welcome visitors again.

DOC's Coromandel Operations Manager Nick Kelly spoke to Ben Strang.
