The adjacent Pukemiro and Puketapu pā and urupa are examples of the rich cultural history of Onaero and the significance of the site to iwi and hapū. The campground offers spaces for tent camping and cabin stays with facilities to support this activity.

During holiday periods Onaero can be filled with people enjoying the many natural values it has to offer.
