Campsites in Bay of Plenty

From the geothermal lakes around Rotorua to the sweeping coastline stretching out to East Cape, the Bay of Plenty offers some of the North Island's most varied camping. Overlanders will find campsites tucked beside lakeshores, native bush, and remote beaches, with options ranging from easy roadside stops to quieter spots that reward a bit of effort to reach.
