Perfect FREE place to stay, it's tucked away very nicely, lush green cliffs to the left and coast to the right, all you can hear is the sounds of birds, the start of the mount walk is a few metres away and the car park for mount Manaia only 5 mins drive or 30 mins walk away.
When you arrive the GPS will say that the small green carpark at the bottom is it but you must drive up what looks like someones steep driveway to the left to get to this spot.
A walk up Mount Manaia is a must. It took us 1.5 hours return but the views are worth it on a sunny clear day.
Each camping location is approved by a regional council in NZ. So if it shows on the map, you’re allowed to stay.

Can confirm the other reviews. Except the view and just the little noise of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery. It disturbs optically the beautiful scenery. A familiar diving and swimming place for locals.

It is a beautiful spot and has everything you want from a free campsite. There is an oil refinery close by, but if you look the other way you are fine, because there you will see beautifull nature.

Amazing! And it’s the best place for making a trip to Mt. Aubrey in sunset.

This place made my heart sing. The world sent us here and my goodness was it right or what! Absolutely amazing views; grass, cliff rock faces, the ocean and a killer sunset, it had it all. 100m from the beach and has two 20-30minute walks we didnt have tine to do. Climb the big rock though, veiws are even better (; Only one other camper, space for three vehicles. 45 mins from whangarei. Drive to the end of reotahi road and the carparks up a steepish looking driveway with some grass and a building to the right, only one sign. HIGHLY recommend a night here!!!
