About Us

Oakura has a stunning black sand beach to explore and enjoy. There are only a few places left in New Zealand where you can camp right on the beach and this is one of the best!

Oakura Beach Holiday Park, on Surf Highway 45, is owned and operated by Alan and Janet Rawlinson.

We'll make sure that your stay is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Feel free to ask us for ideas if you are looking for a nice meal or an interesting place to visit. You'll find the office above the The Raw Tasman Caf, our seasonal caf & takeaway where you can have nice caf-style food or for enjoying fish & chips on the beach.

Because of our location on Surf Highway 45, we are central to a string of popular surf spots up & down the coast. Why not take a lesson with our local surf school (summer months only). You're guaranteed to get up! In fact, Tom Cruise had surf lessons here whilst working on the set of The Last Samurai. 

You'll find that Oakura Beach Holiday Park is not just a great camp site, it's a holiday destination. You'll want to stay another day!

We are very much looking forward to seeing you. Al & Jan
