Harataonga DOC Campsite is a campsite on Great Barrier Island (Aotea) in the Hauraki Gulf. It has a Google rating of 4.8 from 16 reviews, and reviewers mention two long-drop toilets, an easy walk to the beach, a creek that children enjoy and a communal kitchen area.
The Department of Conservation page says fires are not allowed at any time, and dogs are not permitted. Camping needs a booking, and there are no designated sites, so each party finds a space when it arrives. There are no public bins on the island, so visitors take their rubbish away in council bags for disposal at the Claris landfill.
For a quiet beach stay near the Harataonga walkway on Great Barrier Island, this campsite is worth booking ahead, and it is important to take your rubbish with you.
