Tui Glen Reserve NZMCA Park

Tui Glen Reserve NZMCA Park sits on Claude Brookes Drive in Henderson, West Auckland, near the Oratia Stream.

The site holds a notable place in New Zealand history as the country's first motor camp, originally opening in 1928 at a time when Henderson was more easily reached by boat than by road.

The camp operated for decades before closing in 2002, after which the land returned to council ownership. The reserve encompasses roughly 12 acres and has since been developed as a public park.

NZMCA members may stay at the park for up to four consecutive nights or five days, with a maximum of 16 days per year.
