Camping entouré d'une ferme pédagogique.

Pelouse parfaite pour les tentes, possibilité de rentrer avec les voitures, vans et camions. Quelques tables. Toilettes sèches à l'intérieur du campground (papier+eau+savon ok).

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.

The place is nice, beautiful view, very quiet.

But, the park’s gate close at 7 PM which way too early, and it’s written anywhere but in one of the three emails they send you AFTER you booked. We came out to have dinner at the city center and when we came back at 8 PM it was impossible to reach the campsite. So we paid for a site we did not use and they did not want to refund us. Very bad experience.

Difficult process to get in.

Have to stay on hold a couple of times.

Toilet is okay. (Don't expect much.) There's a public shower in the park which is a ways away but other than that it was nice.

Negative: dirty and stinky facilities, no shower, no light (even though you pay $15 pp).

Positive: 10 min drive from the airport, large grass area, farm animals nearby which you may encounter

I was in line for about 30 min to get the booking (there is a phone with wich you need to call the city council, they were very friendly but you need patience!)

Stayed here for one night as our first stop after landing.

Although the site is close to the airport, you wouldn't know it, it's very quiet and secluded. Nice coastal walk straight from the site and great views at sunrise. Only marked down due to the lack of facilities, has basic public toilets, but no showers on site.

We stayed there two nights with our NON self contained campervan.

$30 per night for 2 adults including car. Very quiet beautiful place with scenic park to walk and hike. Sheep, pigs, cows, goats and chicken are there and you can wander around and pet them. Toilets and sink for washing dishes. Hot shower for $2 coin available but did only work on one morning. Booking over the Auckland City Council Hotline - take your time (15-30 minutes) and payment over secure payment line.

Perfect place to drop into to sort yourself out if, like us, you've just arrived, picked up your rental & want to take stock of the situation.

Beautiful location not far from airport, camping ground available or you can park in bus parking overnight ( a bit cheaper) if you're self contained. Just ring from small shed at entry (free phone) to book & pay.
