Raetea North Side Campsite is a free, basic DOC campsite located at the northern foot of Raetea Forest within Mangamuka Gorge Scenic Reserve, Northland.
Situated on State Highway 1 approximately 18 km south-east of Kaitaia, the site is reached via a gravel road that crosses a stream ford. Up to 20 unmarked tent sites are available, with non-flush toilets and stream water on site.
The campsite is accessible by car, caravan, and self-contained campervans.
The reserve protects one of the last remaining lowland coastal forests in New Zealand, and the area supports notable wildlife including kererū (wood pigeon), parakeets, short-tailed bats, and the rare Kauri snail.
It offers a quiet, nature-focused overnight stop for those travelling through the Mangamuka Gorge.
