Lovely spot. Definitely recommend. Clean toilet facilities. Friendly grounds manager. No showers unfortunately.
Beautiful beaches and cliff side rocks to walk across. The place itself is very well taken care of. Compost bins. Recycling and garbage - which is what a lot of campsites actually lack in New Zealand.
Plenty of shaded area if you are staying in a tent like we did.
Clean drinking water no need to boil before hand.
Gates close at 9pm for entrance to the park so whatever you do be there before 9.

Good spot right on the beach. Only about 8 spots for self contained campers and then a bigger area beside for camping. Very busy beach on the weekends. Awesome views of the surrounding bays. Plenty of oysters and a few mussels out towards the point. You can walk across to the island at low tide too. Nice beach for little kids but not white sand.

We spent the first night in NZ here, and it is still one of my favourites, beautiful scenery and a wonderful landscape on the way in.

Otarawoa Bay. Just North of Auckland (56 minutes per Google maps) is Pudding Island/Otarawoa Bay/Sullivans Bay. This was the first venue I visited in my camper-van and it blew me away. It only costs $5 to stay, hence the facilities are very basic with a drop toilet and just fresh water available, but by golly, what a beach. You can camp here for a day and it feels like you have relaxed for a week already.
