Campsites in Hawke's Bay

Hawke's Bay stretches from its sun-soaked coastline to the rugged Kaweka and Ruahine ranges inland, giving overlanders a real mix of places to pull up for the night. You'll find campsites beside quiet lakes and rivers, along the shore, and tucked deep in the backcountry near remote hot springs. It's a great region for basing yourself between coast and hills.
