Freedom camping area for self contained vehicles only. 3 night stay max
Whananaaki North is a mostly peaceful and quiet spot to stay, suitable for campervans. There are only 3 parking spots, but the location offers a serene atmosphere, proximity to water, and good views for sunset and sunrise. The area is close to the road, but surprisingly quiet. Amenities include clean and well-lit toilets, picnic tables, and ample space to park. Some reviewers noted that there is no signage or mention on the council website, making it an unofficial camping spot. However, it is generally considered a public parking pad next to toilets and picnic tables.
One reviewer reported finding both toilets out of order, but this was an isolated incident. The area is self-contained friendly, with some shade provided by trees. However, there are no rubbish bins, so campers must take their own waste with them. The spot is located in a quaint town, with stunning views of the estuary, and is home to a variety of birdlife. Overall, Whananaaki North is considered a good spot for campervans, offering a peaceful and scenic experience.
