Ocean Beach Carpark, Whangarei
Amazing!!!
There is only space for about 5 vehicles however there were about 15 there last night, spread out around the carpark, including some that weren’t CSC. No one came to check on us. Beach is a 5 minute walk from the carpark, popular surfing spot. Waves were too big for me and my boogie 🤪 toilet is open all night although it seems the outside shower has stopped working.. Super quiet and peaceful spot!

Kowharewa Bay
Amazing spot!!
Bay is so calm and tranquil. Gets busy with locals on the weekends with water sports and day trips. Perfect place to paddle board when it’s calm!

Sandy Bay Carpark, Whangarei
Great spot with ocean views.
I stayed here just before a storm hit and it was so windy and rainy.. so I don’t recommend to stay here if it’s bad weather.. lucky I was behind a big horse truck to shelter me! But I barely slept because the wind was rocking my van.. despite the weather this is a great spot and would be primo on a nice day!!

Pagoda Lodge & Camping
Good place to stop in my van while the weather was stormy.
At first it appeared dirty and not well maintained although after settling in I found that it actually wasn’t that bad. Had a great big viewing deck to relax under while it was raining, although there were ants/insects all over the first chair I sat on and all furnishings seemed dirty. Could do with more maintenance/cleaning of the outside furniture... but glad I stayed here and the highlight for me was doing a walk to an awesome waterfall from the lodge - an unexpected delight 😁
