Truck Camping in New Zealand's Southernmost Point of North Island

This Area of New Zealand has a rich history of early Maori Occupation and heritage sites are part of the fascinating landscape. Even the road to Cape Palliser is dramatically scenic.

To get to this campsite you will require a 4wd which makes this site very less crowded and sometimes whole place to yourself with amazing waterfall and swimming spot.

If you don't have a 4wd then there are few camping spots in the way and in Ngawihi which is a fishing village before you drive on to the lighthouse.

Be ready to test your fitness and climb 250 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse which was installed in 1897. Its easy to see why this area of ocean was known for seafaring disasters. During the 19th century, there were about 20 ships wrecked in or near Palliser Bay.
