Information
Our community consider ourselves fortunate to be kaitiaki / guardians of this unique forest, mountain and
river environment. We want you to enjoy our place as much as we do, so rather than leave no trace, please
leave it better for the locals and visitors that will follow in your footsteps.
Throughout the beautiful Buller / Kawatiri District freedom camping areas like this one are provided to assist in
the preservation of our stunning coast and inland forest areas. Please use these sites and their facilities to
protect the environment for those who live here, our visitors, and future generations to come.
You can do your part to help keep this place beautiful by:
Keeping your stay to a maximum of 2 nights
Using the toilets provided
Not washing directly in the river. Please collect water and dispose of it in your vehicle waste system
Only staying overnight in the designated area, as shown on the map
Respecting those you share the site with. Please keep noise to a minimum, and your gear well
contained.
Keeping access ways clear for other users
Calling 111 in the event of a fire. Open fires are prohibited at this site.
Rubbish bins for disposal are available in Punakaiki, Westport, Hector, Karamea and Reefton. If the
bins are full, please take your rubbish elsewhere as the local birdlife love to spread bags of rubbish
around.
Dump stations are available on The Esplanade in Westport, The Strand in Reefton and at the Cobden
Bridge in Greymouth.

Very quaint campsite, not many parking spaces so will need to negotiate with your neighbours as vehicles can’t use the day parking on the other side. Clean toilets, quite a few sandflies by the lake

Excellent free camp site for csc. Toilets closed in winter. Right next to the river and park. Dogs allowed ( well no sign saying no dogs ) so our fur babies loved it. 1 minate walk to great pubs and fab cafe up the road.
