4.0/5
Lovely view over the sea and at a distance Auckland city, also lots of harboured boats on the opposite side.
There's a fair few spots here for Self contained, there are yellow lines in the carpark to designate the freedom spot.
Dump station and good quality toilets.
A bit bright at night from the over head lights, but kept pest to a minimum.
No water facilities so make sure you have enough.

Wenderholm Camping Ground
4.5/5
SCC camping at the rear carpark.
$16 a night (based on two people), can only purchase online at the Auckland council website.
Right next to the boat ramp and two beach heads. Great for kayaking when tide is in.
Two sets of toilets, both of decent quality. There are also rudimentary showers by the toilets near the parking spots. Cold and not the best flowing but great after a sea swim.
Busy during the day, we were here over a weekend.
Alot of short walks as well! Fantastic spot for families and a number of free to use BBQs on site as well!
