This place is SUPER rustic but amazing. A friend and I did a camping road trip around North Island and this place sticks out in my mind as one of the highlights. The toilet was wasp infested but we made do. There is no water but little fireplaces and it is VERY quiet and other campers are extremely nice. I WANT to go back again. My friend and I had some wine and cheese and relaxed in nature on our chairs and had a good experience. We brought everything we could have wanted with us. The road is riddled with pot holes and there’s no good signage but you know you’ve found it when you stumble upon it.

Really long and windy one track gravel road before you get to this camp - looked quite scary - old caravans etc think it is for hunters - would not recommend this site.

Long drive on rocky single track road. Extra dark, covered by trees. Not a great atmosphere, unpleasant toilet.

To get there you have to drive further on the gravel road than you think but then you get there. Large campsite, two toilets (clean) nice spot,
