AUCKLAND: AUCKLAND METROPOLITAN

The Freedom Camping Trial is now finished, and you can no longer stay at this location
The Council is presently reviewing their Freedom Camping Bylaw

The small West Auckland community of Huia has a very nice reserve overlooking Huia Bay. There are two parking areas, public toilets, and a childrens play area.

It was quite busy when we called in on a public holiday, but we had no trouble finding somewhere to park. 

It's a quiet and relaxed location with a really beautiful view acrose the bay. There is a small beach store and cafe that sells icecreams and fish n chips just a short walk back into town.

This would be an excellent place to park overnight, and there are no signs forbidding it. If you're exploring out this way, it is a much better option than the council campsite at Barn Paddock.
