Whanganui coastal camping with sea-view hardstands and separate standard grass pitches.

Kai Iwi Beach, not Kai Iwi Lakes

This holiday park is at Mowhanau on the coast near Whanganui, not at the similarly named lakes in Northland. The local setting includes an iron-sand beach and coastal cliffs, with Bason Botanic Gardens another possible outing in the area. Use the Mowhanau Drive address when planning the trip to avoid mixing these very different destinations.

Choose between hardstand and grass

Sea-view powered hardstands are described as best suited to a single vehicle, while standard powered sites accommodate tents, caravans and campervans. Non-powered spaces are offered for tents and smaller motorhomes. That distinction matters for a family bringing an awning or extra equipment. A communal kitchen and laundry are listed, but a sea view belongs to the selected category rather than every pitch.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Kai Iwi Beach Holiday Park before travelling.
