Splore Festival Motorhome Guide

Heading to Splore? Book a motorhome and stay beachside in comfort

Stay at Tapapakanga in a self contained motorhome - comfort, convenience and live availability from trusted NZ providers, all in one place.

What is Splore Festival

Splore is New Zealand’s most vibrant, inclusive and imaginative summer festival. It is a 3 day celebration of music, art, wellness and costume creativity. Held at Tapapakanga Regional Park, just over an hour southeast of Auckland, it blends coastal beauty, performances and a strong sense of community.

With camping at the heart of the experience and little accommodation nearby, a motorhome keeps you close to the action in comfort.
