A beautiful, peaceful campsite nestled below Mount Ruapehu. Only 12 spaces so need to ensure you book online, although we booked our campervan space the same day with no issues. It’s a DOC site so if you have the campsite pass it’s free to stay. Basic amenities with just a toilet on site and picnic benches to eat on. Absolutely stunning stay here😄
The Campsite was easy to find and the gravel road is not bad at all. There’s even toilet paper in the loo. Big plus you can see Mt Ruapehu from the Campsite, stunning view!
Booking online uncomplicated, place very nice and true to nature. Great location for hikes.
Must book online first. A few places are in walking distance to explore. Unfortunately long drop was too gross to use, in need of an empty. A less smelly one can be found down the road a bit further
You can only reserve and pay online for this site. So we were thrilled when we got there at 6:30 pm and saw that all of the 6 spots were taken. Parked on the grass next to the water tap instead.
Location is great. There’s a long drop toilet that really smelt bad and the door was not able to lock. Water on site, not for drinking though. Other than that we liked the camp spot in nature.
Perfect spot to camp. 1 day drive from Wellington. I’ve purchased a 30 day DOC pass, which covers the cost. Have to register still on DOC site . Mozzies are extreme, so bring spray ?
Really nice site with well laid out bays for the 6 vehicles. Easy access up the mountain for skiers, a good number of walks and hikes very close, and only a couple of Ks to the township. We did the Old Coach Road by e-bike with shuttle to the Horopito start point.
Open. A good, convenient little spot
New owners currently renovating. Very friendly though :) hopefully open for the Ski season
