Home Bay campsite sits on the east coast of Motutapu Island within the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, just a five-minute walk from the Home Bay wharf. The beachside setting makes it accessible by ferry from Auckland or by private vessel.

It is the only campground on Rangitoto/Motutapu. The DOC-managed standard campsite offers tent-only, non-powered sites with toilets and potable water but no showers.

Bookings are required; there are no designated individual sites, and campers find their own space on arrival. Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs are not allowed.

Beyond the beach, visitors can explore the island's walkways, historic features including the 1901 Reid Homestead and WWII military remains, replanted native bush, and recovering wildlife populations.
