Tapapakanga camping

Tapapakanga is an Auckland Council run camp, the park has 4 camping options, this camp is at the steam csc ground.


A quiet grassy camp with a stream running down one side, mostly shallow but there is a swimming hole and you can walk down the stream to the sea.


There are no facilities at this camp.

Unfortunately there are no dogs allowed

Event is limited to certified self-contained vehicles.


The park is a working farm with different walks to choose from as well as the original homestead to visit and the beach. Orere point is a short drive for supplies.


Shared morning tea catch up Saturday morning for anyone who is keen.
I'll take my pizza cooking gear if anyone wants to bring ingredients and join us.

If you're not self contained you're welcome to camp at the beachfront or sea view and join us for meals etc. It's a short drive away.
