Waitara Marine Park Motor Camp
Waitara Marine Park Motor Camp
Waitara Marine Park Motor Camp — now known as Waitara Holiday Park — sits on the shore of Waitara's west beach, beside the Waitara River mouth in New Zealand's Taranaki region.
The site is conveniently positioned next to a boat ramp, making it a practical base for fishing and water-based activities. The camp offers powered sites, hot showers, toilets, kitchen and cooking facilities, laundry, and is pet friendly (conditions apply).
Reviewers have noted that despite the aging facilities, the grounds are kept clean and tidy with well-mowed lawns and a welcoming manager, and the camp has a reputation for being one of the more affordable powered-site options in New Zealand.
