Home Bay, Motutapu Island Campsite

Home Bay campsite sits on the east coast of Motutapu Island within the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, Auckland. Managed by the Department of Conservation, it is a standard campsite with 131 non-powered tent sites and a total capacity of 262 people.

Bookings are required, and parties find their own space on arrival rather than being assigned a designated site. Basic facilities include toilets and a water supply.

The campsite fronts the beach and provides access to the island's walkways, coastline, replanted native bush, and recovering wildlife. Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs are not allowed.

Note that the vehicle road approaching from the south is currently closed due to storm damage exposing high-voltage cables; campers should instead use the coastal Motutapu Walkway to reach the site.
