Introduction

Read the rules that apply to the Momorangi Bay campground.

Arrivals and departures

  • All campers must register at the office on arrival and before setting up.
  • Check-in is 2 pm. Fees apply for early check in with prior arrangement and if available.
  • Campsites must be vacated by 10 am or late departure fees may be incurred.

  • All tents, caravans and motorhomes must be 1.5 m inside the boundary of your site for fire safety.
  • All vehicles including trailers or boats must be within your site. A $100 fee will be charged if these are not placed within your site and need to be removed. Limited storage areas are available.
