Te Arai campground is administered by Auckland Regional Council and is available to certified self-contained vehicles only.

The campground is a flat grassed and metaled area nestled in behind the dunes, with the odd puhutukawa tree adding colour in summer.

Advance bookings are mandatory, see http://regionalparks.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/tearai/te-arai-scc-campground for details.
