The camp site is nice (7pm to 9am, but nobody cares), the flush toilets are closed as there is no water in the tanks for flushing, a drop toilet is available though. The hikes are amazing ( highly recommend the Lake Rere loop). The road to get there is gravel but okay. The 2nd ford is a nasty one. You’ll make it in easy, the problem is the return. You need good clearance on the bumpers. Wouldn’t recommend it if you drive a motorhome or if you’re a beginner driver, as you’ll get stuck in
Great spot before a tramp, road leading up here is gravel, has several fords and potholes. Carpark has flush loos and waster to wash hands. There is no cell coverage.
Nice place to sleep before the beginning of great walk. We found brown eyeglasses on the beginning of greenstone loop track. we let them on the Hut of the campsite.
Remote and quiet! Gravel road is fine, 3 fords as mentioned but these go down as quickly as they go up. No large campervans recommended for road. We parked here to stay one night and then left the van for 4 nights during our Routeburn/Greenstone tramp. Flush toilets were locked when we arrived, on return they were open - the long drop is always available. Lovely stream nearby for a dip.
Took us about an 45 minutes to get there from the top of the lake and involved crossing 3 small fords, which was easy in the summer. Check the weather before as signal is non-existent there and the fords can make you extend your stay. Nice carpark equipped with flush toilets near some great fishing and tramping!
This is truly in the middle of nowhere and the road to get out isn’t great.
Awesome spot if you want to do the Lake Rere loop day walk (4-6hrs). Great swimming spot 5 mins down the road. Flushing loos woohoo, thanks DOC! Be aware that the carpark gets full. It hadn't rained for a week or so when we went and the fords were just about ok in our hiace.
We made it to the river, and you can’t even see where the road starts again. Not safe!
Okay campsite at the beginning of some tracks, flush toilets are closed during winter time. The road was good, you do need to pass 3 small rivers but I passed without a problem with a Toyota estima (in good weather conditions)
Thanks for the nice toilets, tom! Apart from a lot of sandflies a nice and remote stop with nice and clean flushing toilets. We made the crossing of 3 little rivers without a 4WD in fine weather, worked perfectly fine. In bad weather it‘s risky. About a 1.15 hour drive to routeburn.
