Ruakaka Beach Holiday Park is situated on 13.8 hectares of reserve land owned by the Department of Conservation. It is surrounded by a tidal estuary that leads out to the sea, this area is home to a variety of bird species. The holiday park has a rich history dating back to the 1930s. The Department of Conservation has established the Ruakaka Reserve Board to act as the guardian of the reserve land, and actively involves campers and the community in its planning, and encourages their input for the future.
We provide various holiday accommodation options including basic cabins, water view cabins, non-powered sites, powered sites, and water view sites, ensuring everyone can stay. Tents, caravans, and campervans are welcome on all site choices. As a not-for-profit organization, the main source of funding for the holiday park comes from campground fees. These fees are reinvested into the park for upgrades and future development, this is based on the feedback received from our campers.
We welcome our campers (manuhiri) with respect and kindness to make them feel welcome (manaakitanga).
" We are always working closely on sustainability, exploring different ways to improve our environmental impact”.
We embrace our role as the kaitiaki of this beautiful reserve. We aim to create a place where generations of families can enjoy fun in the future. We take pride in believing that we are the best family camp in the north.
We foster a positive work environment for our staff, helping them to be proud of who we are and where we work."
The Tiaki promise - to care for the people, the place and the culture
Our camp is situated on the Ruakaka estuary entering the sea. It is very clean, friendly and family orientated in park-like grounds, situated on 13ha of peninsular. It’s one of the largest camp sites in New Zealand with 264 power sites, 80 non-powered sites and 9 backpacker cabins. A number of sites offer stunning views of the estuary and sea views, some with the water right at the edge of your site.
We are halfway between Auckland and the Bay of Islands (134 km north of Auckland and 32km south east of Whangarei). The perfect place to stop as we are only seconds from SH1.
Safe estuary for swimming and kayaking with a surf beach within short walking distance. The surf beach is patrolled over the summer period.
Ruakaka Town Centre is only 4km away and includes a supermarket and a variety of smaller specialty stores. Oasis Dairy backs onto our holiday park which provides most conveniences you require.
Marsden Cove Marina, located at Marsden Bay, is a short drive from the holiday park where you can launch your boat safely with easy access to the harbour or ocean for fishing and other water activities.
