   Beautiful place. Glowworms, waterfall, good trail and fun tunnel. Everything you can ask for a campsite

   Great stay, plenty of room for parking with a friendly DOC ranger who came each morning to collect our fees so it was easy! Great walks and adventures we had and dog friendly

   Awesome camp spot. Key points to remember: - Get there early. It can get very busy, very quickly - Parking. There are a lot of people who use this carpark as a day park for the hikes and rides in the area. And the carpark is not big. So keep calm, and keep trying. - There is no "fresh water source" as such. It's water from the river. - You cannot camp next to you car. You will need to carry your gear. ( It's not too far. But something to remember) - There are a LOT of little pockets of campsites. From the carpark you cannot see them all, so keep looking!

   Love this place. Great for a weekend getaway. The DOC managers are polite and friendly, and happy to answer any questions about the area. Only downside is that the carpark could be bigger, when lots are camping and lots of visitors swimming ruins out of room really fast.

   There is no social control here, just people partying with loud music, leaving with the loud music, bright car lights on, with kids throwing rocks at eachother between the cars and their baby crying at 11 PM in the night. The may be nice nights here, but I would absolutely recommend to people who like calm nature camping to avoid this campsite in the holidays and weekends.

   Beautiful atmosphere for camping with the river close, water holes, and hikes around the corner as well.

   Awesome camp ground! Really nice bushwalks, paths along the Waitawheta river, and also has no reception so you get a full undisturbed camping experience. Clean drop toilet on site.

   Good reserve to go to . I walk Bella (Shitzu ) on a lead mid week . At the time of writing , we have been knocked around a bit by the inclement weather ( February 2023 ) Good family friendly D O C site , Safe swimming for all ages , extensive , easy walking tracks . ( message to A@@$% holes with felt tip Pens , and , Spray Cans , You Are Not Welcome Here )... Enjoy the ambience and share a thought for the poor sods that are driving in traffic whilst you are observing a snapshot of New Zealand riverside camping as it used to be . Complete with a suspension Bridge above troubled waters . Enjoy ...
