Poukaraka Flats Campground sits within Whakanewha Regional Park on Waiheke Island, set back from a sheltered bay with a child-friendly beach. The large, flat grassy site accommodates up to 80 people with a maximum stay of seven nights.

Reaching it requires a ferry crossing to Waiheke Island, but the effort is rewarded with a peaceful, scenic setting with views toward Auckland. On-site facilities include flush toilets, cold showers, and a free gas barbecue for campers.

A track connects the campground to the nearest bus stop, making it possible to explore the island without a vehicle.
