Bay of Plenty

Omokoroa is only 20km northwest of Tauranga’s CBD and 24km to Katikati.

Freedom camp 3-night stay in a one month period.

Dump station and fresh water on-site.

9 spaces and 2 large-vehicle spaces

Public toilets, cold showers, children’s play ground, a free gas bbq at the northern end and access to the wharf at the southern end.

There is an Omokoroa Beach store, and upstairs a bar, restaurant and cafe; boat ramp, wharf, there’s a restaurant at the boat club (but only members can use the bar and club area).

A dedicated, small ferry service is available from Omokoroa to Matakana Island. I haven’t been able to find a timetable anywhere. Did see the ferry.

Omokoroa to Tauranga cycle trail: you can now cycle all the way along this fantastic 19km route.

Every Saturday there is a market at the Settlers Hall, 334 Omokoroa Rd. omokoroabeach.nz/parks-reserves/omokoroa-domain
