nice wee spot, not the best toilet but there is a great pub just across the bridge

Very nice with great pub close by. But only for 3 or 4 as council ranger comes at 7am to book extras. $400.00 fine. We were ok but 2 others not so.

Nice place to spend the night! A little bit noisy when we arrive around 4pm but then was quiet. The picture is not correct!! I attached few

The spot looks different to the pictures. It's more a kind of a roundabout close to the mainroad. UnfortunatelyI can't upload any photos but if you check on google maps you will see. The road was a bit busy during the day but quiet in the night. Toilet were very dirty. Only 4 spots available. But nice grass, old treea ans picnic areas available.

Great place to stay for the night. Only room for 4-5 vans (if people park properly). We were the first to get there at 5 and it filled up quickly. Some people stayed in the parking lot not in the designated spots and didn’t seem to have a problem. Very nice river right next to it, great for swimming. One bathroom which was in fine condition. Beautiful grassy lawn, big trees, bird song, picnic tables. We were very happy to have found this spot.

Good place. Just watch out, only the slots on the right side are for self contained. Ranger been there at 7 am.

This is a gorgeous freedom spot right by a clean river and a pub. There’s a very clean, well maintained toilet. The freedom spot can happily fit 4 mid sized vans/ campers or 5 smaller ones. We arrived midweek 4pm and there was room for 1 more van which was taken an hour later and then at 4 vehicles it was filled.

We arrived around 6 pm on Friday (also a public holiday) and there was still room for about 3 more vans. The bathroom is clean. There is no water. The river is nice and there is a large grass area for hanging out. It was quiet at night.

Official space is for just 5-6 smaller vans crammed in side-by-side. Probably need to be early to claim one. We missed out (6pm Tuesday early feb). Looks like a nice good spot with a river swim and pub nearby. Nothing else free nearby: must go to Whitianga, or pay ~$85 for an unpowered site at either Hahei Resort campground or Hot Water beach paid camps.

Our first freedom camping experience and it was a great spot! The stream was great for swimming, the pub across the bridge was really good and the drop toilets weren’t offensive at all. Would recommend this spot.
