Coromandel Road Map
Roads on the Coromandel are
winding, narrow and there are
limits on where you can take a
rented vehicle so be sure to speak to
your rental company and follow our
advice and map on this page.

TCDC Freedom Camping sites
and guidelines
If you are not in a self-contained vehicle you must
not camp overnight outside of paid campgrounds.
Don’t risk a $200 fine as it could ruin your holiday!
Read our important guidelines on where you can
and cannot park overnight in a self-contained
campervan on these pages.

Public toilets and
dump stations
Camping our way is not using the
roadside as a toilet. Read these
pages for locations of public toilets
and dump stations where you can
empty your campervan wastewater.

DOC Campgrounds
DOC – the Department of Conservation – provides
paid campgrounds. See details on these pages.

About the Department
of Conservation (DOC)
campsites
DOC also provides camping locations and charges a fee based
on the category of campsite. DOC has its own ‘freedom camping’
sites which are in addition to the DOC campgrounds and are at
specific locations only. Read more information on DOC’s freedom
camping sites on page 9.
If you are staying at a scenic, standard, or basic DOC campsite (all
sites listed on the following pages are scenic) you need to be well
prepared with food, water and all your own gear.
In areas such as the north Coromandel there are few, if any, shops
for supplies.
We suggest you stop in at one of our great camping supply shops
in settlements like Thames, Coromandel Town, Whitianga,
Whangamata, Pauanui and Tairua where our local store operators
are very knowledgeable and will help you to be well-prepared.
Fees for DOC campsites range from $6—$15 per adult and $3—$5
per child payable at the Kauaeranga Visitor Centre for Kaureanga
campsites, to a camp manager at other sites or via an honesty box
system. Kauaeranga Visitor Centre Ph 64 7 867 9080.

What to do with your rubbish
and recycling
On the Coromandel it’s free to recycle. For non-recyclables, we
operate a pre-paid bag system. Ask for the ‘TCDC blue rubbish
bags’ at local supermarkets and food stores and deliver these to
one of the refuse transfer stations listed below and indicated on
the map.

Prohibited Freedom
Camping Zones
The following roads, areas, towns and TCDC reserves do not
allow camping unless in specified freedom camping sites that are
clearly specified by signage that it is permissable to do so. Read
the signage carefully to ensure you know the conditions and if in
doubt, don’t risk a fine!
