The Raglan Kopua Holiday Park is set in a beautiful peninsula location bordered by the Raglan harbour on one side and the tidal estuary on the other. It is adjacent to Raglan township with 7-day shopping. Of recent times the town has boasted the addition of many new restaurants, cafes and shops. Raglan has continued to grow in popularity over the last 5 to 10 years without losing its old world charm.
Year round the Holday Park has become a mecca for tourists and visitors alike. Its easy access to the town either by road or picturesque walk-bridge coupled with the beautiful location has made the camp ground an extremely popular spot for holiday or weekend breaks. Private plane owners fly into the Raglan airfield which is just 100 metres from the camp and stay in our comfortable units.
Raglan Kopua Holiday Park is also the gateway to other Raglan holiday attractions, such as the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls, Manu Bay, a surfer’s paradise – which boasts the world famous left-hand break, bush walks or climbing Mt Karioi to harbour fishing and an 18-hole golf course.
The Holiday Park has 200 caravan sites, 100 non-powered sites, 3 cabins, 7 Tourist Flats, 4 Brand New Park Motels, and Bunk Room/Backpacker accommodation which suits large schools/groups and has sleeping for up to 60 persons.

Karioi Lodge is a backpacker fairly close to the surf at Whale Bay. Solscape incorporating the Raglan YHA is close to the surf at Manu Bay. Both of these backpackers will pick you up in Raglan and take you to their accommodation. I’m not aware of anybody that does a free service to Raglan – Auckland Airport. There is a shuttle that does that route. See our Getting to Raglan page
