Humphries Bay Campsite
Humphries Bay Campsite
Humphries Bay Campsite is a basic, free DOC camping area situated on the northern arm of Lake Tarawera within the Lake Tarawera Scenic Reserve, Bay of Plenty.
The site offers beautiful swimming water and superb views of Mount Tarawera, with space for up to 10 sites. Access is by foot or boat only — there is no vehicle access.
A number of commercial operators in the Rotorua Lakes area provide boat or helicopter transport, offering various options for reaching the campsite or connecting with nearby trails.
One such trail crosses a low saddle from the campsite to Otangimoana Bay on Lake Ōkataina. Fires are not permitted at any time.
Water supply from the lake is unreliable due to intermittent toxic algal blooms, particularly in summer, so visitors should bring their own drinking water.
