An attractive coastal farm park, Tapapakanga has a rich Maori and European history and offers an accessible, pohutukawa edged beach on the western shores of the Firth of Thames. Located on Deery's Road, this dedicated campervan site offers two locations on the Tapapakanga Stream and Kaparanui Stream.
The sites offer shady stream-side camping. To camp at this site a fully self contained certificate is required as there are no toilets. Limited water is available on site for drinking (boil for 3 minutes).
The Tapapakanga Stream CSC Parking Area has received mixed reviews. Some visitors have had a good experience, describing the spot as "delightful", "tranquil", and "great". They appreciated the access to a stony stream, the tranquility, and the proximity to the beach. One reviewer mentioned that it's a good spot for families with kids.
However, not all visitors have had a positive experience. One reviewer had trouble accessing the area due to a tight and steep entry, which made them feel "rattled" and unable to enjoy their visit. Another visitor was disappointed because there were no sea views from the parking area.
The reviews also indicate that the site may be suitable for caravans, with one reviewer mentioning that it's an "easy access" spot. However, another reviewer noted that it may be "hard for caravan to access", which suggests that the suitability may depend on the specific caravan and its needs.
Overall, the reviews suggest that the Tapapakanga Stream CSC Parking Area is a good spot for those who want a peaceful and serene experience, but it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those who prefer sea views or are having trouble accessing the area.
