Cleanliness, Tranquility and Security
The Closest Camp to Tauranga City Centre.
Tauranga Tourist Park is an affordable small sheltered camping ground located only 4 kilometres from the city centre.
We are a family owned and operated park and are 5th generation Kiwis. Our park caters mainly for campervans, caravans and mobile homes with power/non power sites, cyclist sites, basic one room cabins and an en-suite cabin is also available.
We are a dog friendly campground although conditions do apply.
Set in clean tidy garden like surrounds, our sites are a good size and have hedges and specimen trees for that summer shade. There are picnic tables on most sites.
An affordable and quiet place to stay that offers guests the convenience of being in the city.
These are a nice clean one room cabin with a choice of double or twin beds and a single car park right outside your door.

Lovely quiet camp with tidy, clean facilities.
Dave. the manager. couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. I hope the owners realise what an asset he is to them.
The only reason I didn't give the camp a 10/10 rating is the difficulty of getting out of Mayfair St onto the main road, the traffic is never ending. even on Sunday mornings. Obviously not the camp's fault, just a minor hiccup with the location.

Excellent Facilities, Staff very friendly and helpful, Grounds very well kept, nothing was too much trouble if asked.
A very reasonable price Caravan park. And close to Cable Beach. Only upset was we saw our Frilled Neck Lizard the 1st couple days then he must have went hiding - too much activity for a lizard.

A lot of long term people who will follow your footsteps from day 1 to see if you do something wrong.
The second day we were already bothered by a neigbour who basicely said they don't like travelers arround and after telling her to mind her own business I was being threatened to leave the park by an older man who worked there who didn't even asked me what happened.
There are only 4 tentsites and the rest is all moterhomes.
We felt extremely unwelcome!!
Do not go here!!
