If you're looking for a great camping spot, look no further than Tauranga! This beautiful city on the New Zealand coast has something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a place to pitch your tent or want to stay in a cabin or park home, Tauranga has it all. In this blog post, we'll look at some of the best camping spots in Tauranga.
Lake Okareka

The campground is located about 15 minutes from Rotorua and is directly on Lake Okareka, surrounded by native flora and lush hills. While the campground is small, there are minimal cooking facilities and bathrooms. This lake is a great spot for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. For an adventurous trip, take a short drive to the Lake Okareka Walkway, an hour and a half walk past scenic farmland, beaches, and wetlands.
Fergusson Park

It is one of the most popular camping spots in Tauranga. The park is located on the waterfront, so you can enjoy stunning views of the bay while you camp. There are also plenty of activities to keep you busy, including swimming, fishing, and kayaking.
Cambridge Park

This huge park in the city's south offers a diversity of scenery. Large grassy areas, bushwalks, and wetlands make up the scenery with walking trails that make the most of it. There's also an awesome BMX bike track if you love biking.
Maungatapu Campground

It is a bit more secluded than the other two but still offers beautiful views of the water. This is a DOC (Department of Conservation) campground so it's perfect for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and connect with nature. You can go swimming, tramping, kayaking, fishing, and even dolphin watching!
Waihi Beach

If you're looking for an even more remote experience, consider camping at Waihi Beach. This is a secluded beach located at the end of a long dirt road. The drive is worth it though, as you'll be rewarded with stunning views and plenty of peace.
Kaituna Riverside Park

If you’re looking for a camping spot with a bit of everything, Kaituna Riverside Park is it. With powered and unpowered sites, as well as cabins and on-site vans, there’s something to suit everyone. The park also has a playground, volleyball court, and plenty of open space to run around in.
Otawa Campground

Located just a few kilometers away from central Tauranga, this is one of the most convenient camping spots in the city. With 20 powered sites and plenty of room for tents, it’s perfect for families or groups. There are also three cabins available if you don’t fancy roughing it.
Papamoa Beach Reserve

If you're looking for a more rustic camping experience, head to Papamoa Beach Reserve. This spot is located right on the beach, so you can wake up to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. There is also plenty of bush walks in the area, so you can explore all that Tauranga has to offer.
So, what are you waiting for? Pack up your tent and head to Tauranga for a camping adventure!
