Camp at Totaranui Beach, New Zealand

Add to My List Check Off

Camp next to the clear waters and golden sands of Totaranui beach at the northern end of the Abel Tasman National Park. It's a great place to relax on the beach, swim, kayak, fish or explore native bush on one of the nearby tracks. Totaranui is a large campground catering for up to 850 people. Sites are across the camp road from the beach and alongside the estuary. Camping is available on the beach side of the camp road for Abel Tasman Coast Track walkers only. The campground is divided into 23 zones separated by shelter belts, with six modern amenities blocks spread throughout. All sites are unpowered and vehicle accessible. No specific areas can be reserved or places held for campers still to arrive. Dogs are not allowed. Bookings are required. It takes about two and a half hours to drive to Totaranui from Nelson. Take SH6 south out of Nelson and turn onto SH60 (the Coastal Highway) once past Richmond. Follow SH60 over the Takaka Hill to Takaka. From Takaka follow signs to Pohara and Tata Beach, which will lead you past the Abel Tasman Memorial and onto Totaranui. The last 12 km is a narrow, winding, unsealed road. Bookings made for the peak period of 19 December to 8 February will be charged a base rate equivalent to two adult guests. Bookings made for two guests during this period may be eligible for a refund where the booking contains less than two adult guests. Email the campground for more information.
