Mangawhai Heads Holiday Park sits on a lagoon-style harbour at Mangawhai Heads, roughly 90 minutes north of Auckland and 60 minutes south of Whangarei.

The park offers powered and non-powered sites, cabins, and absolute waterfront camping spots where guests wake up to a white sandy beach. An adjacent boat ramp provides all-tide access for boating and fishing.

The surrounding area caters to a range of activities. The calm estuary is suited to safe swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, and water-skiing, while the surf beach is a short walk away.

The nearby Mangawhai Cliff Walk is a popular land-based option, with additional walking tracks throughout the area. Dolphins are occasionally spotted in the harbour.
