Hard to spot . Heading towards Taupo after Harrow just before bridge. Very narrow road, don’t want to meet anyone coming other way. 3rd campsite was the best. We’re right down near the water and a walk along the river. Lovely

Difficult to find as no sign. It's a gravel track on right heading away from Taupo just before Hatepe . Very quiet, good over night

Good and quiet spot. Didn't meet a single living soul. Nice stream for fishing, a few mozzies. No toilet.

An amazing hike for people who like (almost) untouched nature. Make sure you have good boots.

A pretty tight gravel road to access - at the very end is a massive open space by a hydropower structure.

Cute little stream with fishing access tracks along the edge, not marked trails.

Nicely situated between Taupo and Turangi
