Crikey. Decent site but gets very busy. We got there around 3 and there was plenty of space but from 4 onwards it got very busy. Not a lot of flat ground so everyone ends up crammed in. Interesting parking techniques all round. There are portable toilets, but I'd recommend walking down to the car park at the bottom left and using the drop toilets there. There's also a washing up area by those toilets. It was okay overall, but probably wouldn't stay for more than a night. Good location for the falls

Was good for the location and a free stay, but the ground was quite uneven and the toilets were super gross. We got there around 5pm and took one of the last spots. Would recommend for one night, but yea those bathrooms…

We were able to stay for 3 nights. It was very busy and there was not a lot of flat spaces to park. Drop toilets and a dishwashing station are accessable. No drinking water available. The views and river are beautiful.

Really busy at 1830, very uneven ground to park on. No space for a bigger 4 berth. We left and went to Whakaipo Bay Freedom Camping Area instead (on campermate) which was perfect.

Have to park on the higher site during the winter season which is fine. If you need the toilet go back to the lower nicer site which is open in the summer season. The toilets are drip toilets and have a fair few mozzies . 10/10 for cute ducks and cats

We came now in winter and the lower camping is closed. Upper camping open but a lot of cars, uneven, and so many bumps and holes to get in. It was quite slippery to get in and out. No bathroom, no water. If you go early maybe you get a better spot than us. Was crowded by 9pm.

The spot is really beautiful but since there is no ground marking, people park a little as they want in freestyle. Even if it means preventing other people from parking. Some even park in front of other vans... and the road is quite problematic. The ground has a lot of holes, a sloping floor. So not very safe for the tires and the sill of the van ahah! Too bad it was a nice place but I stayed there 5 minutes before leaving!

While it would've been nice down by the river, since it's maintenance season, it's rather a lovely parking view up the top. There's some undulating areas to park depending on your van size and some drivers chose some interesting spaces to park. Most of the 12 or so campers we're mindful of other vehicles. It's only a couple of minutes walk down the little hill to the long drop toilets from the top section. Take toilet paper with you on your first jaunt incase they have run out!

Overnight parking is not permitted in the parking lot below. However, you can drive a little further up the road. There's a very good view and it's quiet for sleeping. Several parking spaces are available there.

Parking for parking at night is very small as the rest of the parking is closed at night. (6 cars/vans maximum). first arrived, first served. Toilets ok. cleaned at 9.30 in the morning.
