Omanu Surf Club Car Park
4.0/5
Great spot right on the beach.
Only one space. People around late enough but was very quiet after 10. Toilets closed at 8pm (10pm in Summer).

North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Kaitaia ▷
Raetea North Side Campsite
3.5/5
Cool spot but vehicle access to the more picturesque area was blocked.
Felt very safe and quiet. Zero light pollution so the stars were amazing. There is a composting toilet but be prepared to get your feet wet crossing the weir to get to it.

Te Corner, Ohaeawai
2.5/5
Nothing special but the closest spot we could get to Waitangi.
About 5 spots just off the main road but traffic noise wasn’t an issue. Cool pub across the road with a butcher/store on the opposite corner. Careful of kids in the morning as it seems to be a stop for the local school bus. Toilet was open all night.

Laurie Southwick Parade, Gulf Harbour
3.5/5
Quiet with loads of space, this spot by the sea was perfect for a one night stop on the way North.
Clean toilets and dump station. Nice Thai restaurant nearby on Gulf Harbour Drive.
