Walk in camp site only (3km walk) . No freecamp for vans only

Ich habe für eine Nacht im Wanderparkplatz geparkt, aber es ist verboten... Toiletten Kein Wasser Telefonnetz 5/5

Nach Angaben des DOC ist es nur zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad zu erreichen.

The campsite is not where the symbol is on the app, that is where parking is for the Nikau walk to the Kaniwhaniwha campsite. There is a no camping sign at the parking lot by the toilets and stream here. Campsite is walk in only.

You can park directly in the car park to spend the night, a really quiet place, with the river just behind. 😊Dry toilets, there is no water point.

Ist kein kostenloser Campingplatz !!! Gehen Sie nicht zum Schlafen. Nur um den Tag zu verbringen gibt es gute Spuren

Nice place to stay in a tent. Clean toilets. No drinkable water.

Great place to park and hike the beautiful Nikau Loop Walk, about two hours easy track.

Nice place. Please be careful with the rabbits while driving here during night. I saw some of them and they are pretty lost and just running there and back through the road. So slow down people. :)
