Motuora Island Campsite

Motuora Island Campsite is a DOC-managed campground situated on the west coast of Motuora Island in the Auckland region's Hauraki Gulf, roughly 6 km offshore.

The grassy, beachside site sits within a predator-free island sanctuary that also contains a Māori historic site and traces of early European settlement.

With a total capacity of 36 people and 25 unpowered tent sites, the campground operates on a bookings-essential basis through the DOC website. Fires are not permitted at any time.

The island's pest-free status makes it a stronghold for native wildlife, and campers can watch for kiwi, grey-faced petrel, New Zealand dotterel, and the endangered shore plover.
