Schischka Campground

Great regional park and so close to Auckland for a camping getaway, $15 per adult each night with secure gateways into park and campground. You require gate codes to enter camp area, these are supplied by Auckland Council Park reservation team when your booking and payment has been made. Toilets are well serviced and facilities are quite new as camping park only recently opened in last couple of years. It's a win win for so many reasons. Love it

Always love it here got toilets and loads of space. There are a few walks, 2 good beaches electric barbecue's are around but not in the camp it self.

It was very boggy for our early October visit, which meant we had to park on the gravel. But the facilities were great, the gate process worked seamlessly, and the location is just gorgeous. We would love to return at a drier time of the year!

Could do with some showers. Otherwise pretty good

We're camping here for our third time. This time with four children, who have an absolutely loved it. Reasonable price and great spacious areas with lots of trees to provide shade and wind protection. Great area to enjoy beaches, kayaking, biking around the park and hiking trails. We enjoyed Vin's Trail which starts on the entry road to the campground and has great views and some beautiful old growth forests.There are nice flushing toilets but no showers so we bring a shower tent and hot water shower bags to warm water up which works great.Highly recommend the camping experience.

Beautiful place to camp, very sheltered and scenic, swimming in the estuary by the big pohutakawa at high tide is great! Make sure to check out the hill to the south of the camp (on your left as you dive in to the first entry point), which has 1m long overgrown grass that's like a natural trampoline to climb over.

Tranquil and serene setting, right on the water front. No showers or washing facilities however which is probably why not many people camping there

Loved this camping ground. It's got lots of nice flat pockets of area to camp, flush loos and the water right there for swimming, kayaking fishing etc, and a short walk to the surf beach, magic.

Only way to get inside here is to get a gate code online using Auckland councils website which is pretty bad and quite a bit of bureaucracy especially the first time setting up an account. Also look for the gate code In an attachment; they won't tell you to look for the code the email. For some reason in New Zealand, campsites have something against including a picnic table and this place is no exception. It's also close to a main highway so you'll get some of that noise although it's not that bad. And like a lot of campsites in New Zealand it's basically just a grass field. Flush toilets no showers. No bother calling the number listed on the sign to make a reservation they're useless.
