Tōtaranui Campground sits at the northern end of Abel Tasman National Park on a long, crescent-shaped beach of golden sand, making it the only large-scale campground within the park and the only part of the park's coast accessible by road.

The campground accommodates up to 850 people across 269 unpowered sites divided into 23 zones separated by shelter belts, with six amenities blocks spread throughout.

Sites are located across the camp road from the beach and alongside the estuary, with beachside camping reserved for Abel Tasman Coast Track walkers.

The location serves as an excellent base for swimming, sea kayaking, fishing, and exploring nearby native bush tracks. Bookings are required and advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during the peak summer period.

Mobile phone coverage is limited throughout the campground.
