Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park

Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park is one of the biggest and best-located camping grounds in the Bay of Plenty. With 206 sites right near the base of Mauao (The Mount), you are a short walk from one of New Zealand’s best surf beaches and the popular walking track that loops around the volcanic headland.

Facilities are comprehensive. Hot showers, flush toilets, camp kitchen, laundry, baby change room, dump station, WiFi, and gas BBQs are all available. The park takes everything from tents to large motorhomes and caravans, and pets are welcome on a leash. It is a full-service holiday park in the truest sense.

The location is the real draw. Swimming, surfing, and fishing are on your doorstep, dolphins are regularly spotted from the beach, and the cafes and shops of Mount Maunganui village are within walking distance. Rotorua’s geothermal areas are about an hour’s drive inland. Powered sites range from $55 to $85 per night depending on season and site type. This is one of the most popular holiday parks in the North Island, so booking well in advance is essential for summer and school holidays.
