Mount Maunganui beachside camping

Bay of Plenty

Surf beach on one side, harbour on the other, and a walk up the Mount in between.

Mount Maunganui packs a lot into a small spit: a long white-sand surf beach, a sheltered harbour side, hot saltwater pools and the climb up Mauao for a sweeping Bay of Plenty view. It's a relaxed, sunny beach-town base a few hours from Auckland.

Beachside camping here is walking distance from the sand, the cafés and the pools. It's a popular summer spot, so book your nights ahead.
