Wharehunga Bay Campsite
Wharehunga Bay Campsite
Wharehunga Bay Campsite is a DOC backcountry campsite situated on the northern side of Arapawa Island in the Queen Charlotte Sound/Tōtaranui area of the Marlborough region.
The north-facing site offers eight unpowered pitches and serves as a solid base for water-based activities in the outer Queen Charlotte Sound, with sea kayaking being a particular draw.
Facilities are typical of a DOC backcountry campsite: toilets and a water supply (which may be sourced from a stream), along with picnic tables. Fires are not permitted at any time. Bookings are required year-round and can be made online through DOC.
