Whangateau Holiday Park

Address: Whangateau, Auckland 972, Whangateau, Auckland, New Zealand, 972

About This Campsite

Whangateau Holiday Park is a large, family-friendly camp tucked into the bush near Omaha, about an hour and a half north of Auckland. With 93 sites and excellent facilities including hot showers, camp kitchen, laundry, baby change room, WiFi, and gas BBQs, it is well set up for families and longer stays.

The park suits all vehicle types from tents to caravans and motorhomes up to 12 metres. Pets are welcome on a leash. The bush setting gives the campground a sheltered feel, and the views are pleasant without being directly beachfront. Stock up on supplies before you arrive as options are limited nearby.

Whangateau is well positioned as a base for exploring the wider area. The Matakana Coast, Tawharanui Regional Park, and Omaha Beach are all close by, and Auckland is manageable as a day trip. Powered sites start from $40 to $50 per night, with unpowered from $35. Peak season rates are higher, and booking ahead is essential over summer.
