The other free camp being completely packed, this place is a good fallback solution, no accommodations but you will not be bothered by the crowd

I was the only one there, so it was a little creepy. But the stars were gorgeous. Good phone signal as well.

Private spot, calm and without lights. It might be a bit spooky in the night. Stayed 1 night and there was only 1 van. It’s just in the middle of nowhere and quite far away from a town.

No toilets, stay at Waihaha DOC free campsite down the road instead - toilets, cooking area and sink for washing dishes, plus loads of space.

We stayed over for one night and it was very quiet. Follow the signs for the power station and you will find it no problem.

Nice and quiet place.

Nice place to stay, very private

Great and calm place, we were alone Overnight stay are still not forbidden. Weak signal with Spark

Very quiet peacefully spot for a night's stopover. Directions and GPS cordinates not quite right. Instead of driving straight ahead when you get to the last intersection via towards the right, sign says Rangipo Power Station

Nice spot. All tarseal in off main highway. Cell phone coverage
