    Nice spot to watch stars and disconnect. Peaceful and quiet, no phone signal. The last 2km of road access is gravel with a couple of potholes, but motorhome is OK, just need to drive slowly. Booking needed

    Did a day trip to do the Rimu walk track. Very enjoyable walk. The road in wasn't too bad but take care, it's not too far on the metal road. We didn't stay but the campground looks very peaceful and the toilets looked reasonably good. Just a shame to see a group of youths turn up and wreck the grounds doing skids in their vehicles and backing up to one of the toilet blocks and spray it with mud with their vehicle.

    Good campsite, quiet, decent toilets, great for a camp fire. A nice stream along the side of site. Do be prepared for a pothole adventure, long gravel road to reach the site with many deep potholes.

    Decent enough campsite, pitches set out well, but the 3km gravel road to reach it was one of the worst Iโ€™ve ever driven on, potholes over 1ft deep in places cover the track. Also lots of litter around, description says about rubbish bins around but I couldnโ€™t see any?

    Awesome spot, highly recommend the Rimu walk. Took us about 45 mins with a few rests and time at the top lookout area Long drop toilets were clean and didnโ€™t smell, there was toilet paper when we were there but we had our own anyway. Got quite cold overnight so make sure youโ€™re prepared! There are small fire circles at each campsite so worth bringing some firewood if you know how to safely manage a fire

    Quiet and not too far off the highway. It's a good halfway point between Auckland and Wellington. BYO toilet paper.

    Awesome spot. We love getting away from the crowd and this is just the place. Nice dark nights for star gazing. Lovely little bush walk.
