About nearby results

Nearby calculations stay in this page's memory. Your precise browser location is not stored or added to links. Leaving or reloading clears it. When opened, the map fetches OpenStreetMap tiles for the visible area. Distances are straight-line estimates to reference points, not driving distances, track lengths or verified entrances. Town references are approximate locality centres, not your position. Not a navigation tool. 14 of 19 campsites have checked reference points. Parks without a checked point remain in the directory but cannot match a distance radius. Pine Beach and Promenade Point share an approximate Lake Taharoa point.

Where this selection covers

Published campsites labelled Wellington, including Kapiti and Wairarapa. These are not all within Wellington city or a short drive from the ferry terminal. Public overnight parking is covered separately by the freedom-camping guide.

19 published campground records. Facilities and prices on the cards are dated source records, not live vacancies. Unknown means unverified, not absent. Read the notes and confirm with the operator before booking.

Search all campsitesConditions and official alerts

Choose the area before the facilities

Separate a city or Hutt Valley stop from a Kapiti or Wairarapa stay. Check the actual address and your onward journey before treating two Wellington-region campgrounds as nearby alternatives.

Keep park camping and overnight parking separate

Use the campsite's operator source for the booked pitch or arrival process. The Wellington freedom-camping guide covers a different set of places and vehicle restrictions; a campsite listing is not permission to camp elsewhere.

Regional source checks

Selection context checked 12 October 2026. Individual campsite checks retain the dates shown on their cards; this is not a fresh audit of every facility or tariff.
