Great spot to freedom camp.

Arrived in the evening after pre booking and it was fully booked out.

Lots of space though, we parked up on the grass by the animals.

Very peaceful and quiet stay.

Douches et toilettes traditionnelles à droite du bureau d'information lorsqu'on arrive.

Lieux très calme. Très sécurisé avec code.

Réserve ornithologique accessible au départ du camping.

Proximité avec l'aéroport et agences de location de voitures ( pas de pollution sonore).

It‘s OK, relatively far outside.

I personally found it quite annoying to climb out the car four times to enter the actual campingground.. two times to move the cone placed at a road to the campinggroup and two times to unlock and lock a gate to the actual campingground. Also there is ANOTHER gate to the whole regional park that gets locked in the evening, if you arrive later you have to wait for someone to open up for you.. other than that.. no flush toilets on the ground directly, found the toilets below average compared to other low cost campinggrounds, showers only 10 min walk away and not clean.. I did like some of the animals, made friends with a chicken over the week that I stayed, but this other walking alarm clock was horrible haha 5am every morning. I will say that the site as it is beautiful, very spacious and green

Good place to spend the last night before handing back our Jucy van.

Ok toilet block with basin for washing up. Only downside was a free range chicken that decided our camper was the place to roost for the night! It woke us up at 6am! Quite an experience.

Great with kids, lot’s of animals!!

The showers are not on the grass area where you camp, the are near the shearing shed so a bit hidden.

A bit pricy but still cheap than any other option around Auckland!

Beautiful campground surrounded by stunning coastal walk.

Lovely, flat, well maintained grass field with lots of bushes for shade and gravel spots for cars and when wet.

Campground has washing up facilities, toilets and drinking water, and a short walk to the park entrance gives more toilets, sinks and a couple of hot showers.

It's also a little visitor farm with little paddocks and you are basically shut in the park when the gates close - 9pm this summer, but earlier during winter.

Booking is online for Auckland Council so a bit fiddly but well worth it. 20 mijs drive from Auckland CBD and only a few mins to the airport.

We paid 20$, which is way too much for what you get.

The main gate closes at 5pm, so no way to get in with the car later than that. The toilets are very basic. After a long search, we finally found the showers - and decided not to use them. They are located in the public part of the park, in the disabled toilet cabin.

If you what to take public Transports to go to the city (because you what to come back after 5pm) you'll have to walk 20min to the next bus stop and then ride the bus for an hour.

All in all not worth it, I would rather stay at a free spot more far away from the city.

This campsite is perfect, nearby the city and the airport.

For $15/pp you will get access to hot showers, basic toilets, drinkable water and beautiful surroundings! Don't worry about the check in process, just enter the gate on foot and find the host.
