The road is closed. The alternative route leads through a forest, which requires a permit to enter. There's also a sign at the road gate stating that only 4WD vehicles are permitted.

There are months when the road to the camp is closed. See the photo. There is a very nice gravel road all the way to the camp. The forest area around is now very apocalyptic. But once you are at the campsite, it's allright. There are 2x2 flushing toilets with soap and water. A tap with dr. water. Wide flat area to park. Loop track to Fork Flat. There was only me and two campers. Many locals with dogs who went for the loop track for a walk, they drove in an out during the day. Otherwise et place.

A bit hidden and off the road, at times you're not sure if you're in the right place or if the place is even open, but once you're there it's very nice!! Large picnic area with plenty of space, some flushing toilets that are also regularly serviced. Short walk to the waterfall (signposted). There is no cell phone network on the site itself, so you have to drive back 5 minutes.

Sign and website say the site slides in May 2023 however it was already closed in April

The road is closed until 2025

A fantastic space with lots of room to run and play. Flushing toilets and a waterfall (5mins away) followed by an well maintained hour bush walk. Thank you DOC & Southland Council. Lovely to wake up to song birds.

Looks like you need to access from Dunsdale way - from the west you’ll run into a closed road.

Still closed but with no closed signs until you get all the way there…

Went today just to see what it was like - closed - looks like a stunning place to stay - glad we didnt take caravan up as no room to turn - maybe signs should be put up beginning of road when closed or open

We stayed last night and it was very busy with families and groups presumably there for New Years. Massive flat area surrounded by bush, nice and secluded with no reception. Road in is rough but okay, would stay here again.
