Raglan Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

On my way back to Auckland I made a great stop at Raglan, a little city on the West coast famous to surfers for its waves.
Just in time to join a surfers' party on Saturday night - great fun

We spent 2 days surfing at raglan and chilling out with Jody, staying in her horse trailer!! very funky surfer town with cool vibe!

29/01/2009 Raglan is our destination today which is apparently has one of the premier surf beaches in New Zealand. The afternoon is spent attempting to try and surf, we get some basic instructions on how to get onto the board, we shoehorn ourselves into our wet suits and hit the waves. I spend a pretty frustrating hour or so trying to stand up a...

Hahei to Raglan Headed on to the world-renowned Raglan surf beach, a long walk and a rest on the black sand beach. Lots of love Tracey xxx

Jenn, Andy, Max and I met to have breakfast before heading to the beach for the day.  I was really excited to get out there, and after having the bejesus scared out of me about Australian shark and shark attacks vs. New Zealand attacks, I was very happy to go in the water here.   We got drove to the beach and rented a wetsuit and board for 4 hou...

It was a glorious day (I was inappropriately dressed as normal) - in 3/4 length trousers - who needs t...

This morning, I woke up at about 10am and ate some breakfast. During breakfast, Andy and I had a discussion about whether we should borrow the car again to go to Raglan (which is about at 3 hour drive away) or drive to the Mount (which was only 20 minutes away). After finishing breakfast, we checked the surf conditions online at each location. R...

Wednesday Today we went to Raglan on the west coast. It is a small community which attracts surfers from all around the world and is renowned for some of the best waves. Here you can normally surf but of course due to the weather it was too dangerous. The swell was too large or something! It didn't stop raining so the bush walk was cancelled. Th...
