Reviews

  • Quite location beside the road near the Waipapa Dam, quite scenic, there is a boat ramp near by, and two picnic tables and Bar-B-Que / Fireplaces.

    There are no toilets or water supply. There was quite a bit of rubbish scattered about, looks like some lazy person dumped a household rubbish bag.
