A coastal Marahau base with powered touring pitches and a separate small-tent area without vehicle parking.

Choose the right camping area

Marahau Beach Camp separates its larger powered pitches from a compact unpowered tent area. Tent City is not a substitute for a campervan pitch: it is intended for small tents and has no vehicle parking. A family carrying a large tent and a car should compare the main site categories rather than selecting solely by whether electricity is needed.

Check in before settling in

Arrival formalities are handled at the Abel Tasman Centre on Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, rather than simply at the Franklin Street camping address. The location works for coastal walks and separately arranged kayak or boat outings. Shared cooking facilities are available, while showers and laundry are coin-operated. Dog access applies only during the operator's specified part of the year.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Marahau Beach Camp before travelling.
