Uretiti Beach Campsite
Uretiti Beach Campsite
Uretiti Beach Campsite is a Department of Conservation (DOC) campground situated within the Uretiti Recreation Reserve on Bream Bay, between Ruakākā and Waipu in Northland, New Zealand.
Tucked behind sand dunes, it provides direct access to a long sandy beach popular for swimming, surfing, and fishing.
The campground offers around 300 unpowered tent sites spread across a grassy area, with no marked or allocated spots — campers simply choose their own on a first-come, first-served basis.
Basic facilities include toilets, water taps, cold showers, and coin-operated hot showers. Fires are not permitted at any time. To protect the local kauri trees, visitors are asked to clean footwear and gear before leaving the area.
Dogs and other pets are not allowed on site. The campsite is well known as a welcoming gathering spot for the LGBTQ+ community over the New Year period, and a minimum three-night stay applies from 28 December to 1 January. Advance online booking is required.
