Uretara Domain

Bay of Plenty

Freedom camping, self contained, 3 nights maximum stay in any 4 week consecutive period. Gravel site attached to a park with public toilets. There is a council-provided dump station at Uretara domain and fresh water.

I stayed here for three nights; a great spot. Every Friday night they have a Farmers market at the adjacent A&P Show grounds from 3pm to 5.30pm or later.

Fish and chip shop is on Waterford Road to the right from the entrance.

Lots happening in Katikati the weekend I stayed. I managed to do 3 markets and go to the Psychic Café , movies and museum in Katikati, the domain is in walking distance to town and even the supermarket.
