Maraehako is a destination campsite. There's not too many locations like this one. Things run slower and the stars are brighter.
No bookings. First come first served, but there's heaps of space. The prime beachfront spots go first of course.
For the 2025/26 season, they opened on December 8th 2025 and are open until the end of April 2026.
Going on previous years, they are likely to be closed between the end of April until December 2026.
