Motuihe Island Campsite

Motuihe Island Campsite is a Department of Conservation standard campground set on the headland of Motuihe Island / Te Motu-a-Ihenga in the Hauraki Gulf, a short boat ride from Auckland.

The campsite sits near sandy, sheltered beaches and is easily explored on foot. It is home to kiwi, kākāriki, saddleback, and shore skink on this pest-free island.

The campground offers up to 64 non-powered tent sites with tap water and toilet facilities, but no powered sites and no campervan access. Open fires are not permitted, dogs are not allowed, and rubbish must be carried back to the mainland.

Access is by private boat or ferry, or a three-hour kayak for experienced paddlers. There is no transport on the island, so campers must carry their own gear. Bookings are essential and must be made in advance through the DOC website.
