Seaview Campground sits within Tāpapakanga Regional Park, a coastal farm park near Ōrere Point in southeast Auckland, on the Firth of Thames.

It is one of several campgrounds in the park and, along with the Beachfront Campground, offers some of the best access to Tāpapakanga Beach, reached via a short walk west of the historic Ashby Homestead.

The surrounding area provides a range of activities, including swimming at the beach — best enjoyed at high tide — and a freshwater swimming hole fed by Tāpapakanga Stream at the southeast end of the beach, set among recovering forest and pōhutukawa trees.

Low-tide rocks nearby yield green-lipped mussels within standard legal limits, and grassy reserve areas offer space for picnicking.
