Cable Bay Campsite

Cable Bay Campsite sits on Urupukapuka Island within the Urupukapuka Island Recreation Reserve in Northland, New Zealand.

Managed by the Department of Conservation, it is a paid conservation campsite accessible by water taxi from Paihia, with boat transportation bookings handled through the Paihia i-SITE. Water taxis operate on demand year-round, weather permitting.

Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly during the peak summer period from December through February and over public holiday weekends. A DOC Campsite Pass can be used here, and all bookings must be made online before occupying a site.

Open fires are not permitted at any time on the island.
