Mangahuia Campsite

Mangahuia is a simple DOC campsite in beech forest on the western side of Tongariro National Park, well placed for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the volcanoes of the central plateau. It's a short drive to the shuttle pick-ups and the village amenities at Whakapapa and National Park.

Expect a quiet, bush-fringed spot with basic facilities and cool alpine nights. In winter the plateau turns to a ski destination, so check conditions and road status before you head up.
