Amazing campsite. There is no sign that you can legally camp here but we had no problems. Amazing walk during the day but even cooler at night. 5 min walk to see glow worms for free!
Very good spot. Space for about 10 campervans, around 8 or so when we arrived around 6pm. Quiet and by a river, enjoyed the sound of running water. The natural bridge walk was incredible during the day, but even more so at night with the glowworms, do bring a red light head torch for this. Long drop toilet, it was fine as long as you don't mind bugs too much. About 30 mins from Waitomo, and enjoyed the glowworm experience more here, and for free!
Great spot close from the road. There were 5 or 6 vans the night we stayed here. The natural bridge just nearby is absolutely stunning. If you drive less than 10mn, you will be able to find the Marokopa Falls, a 20mn walk (return) with at the end of the path the falls that let us speechless. Toilets are 100m from the car park, take a flashlight with you at night! You can meet possums but they are afraid of human and will run away if you are coming too close.
Highlight stop of our trip. The area fits at least 10 vans comfortably. The natural bridge is amazing in the day but when you add the glow worms at night it makes it a magical place.
Just stayed the night, no one else here, peaceful night listening to the river. I personally think I got the most of this beautiful place by going back to the natural bridge when dark to see the glow worms …. Truly beautiful 🥰
Maybe it’s because it was our first full day with our camper van in NZ. Maybe it’s because we aren’t used to driving up a mountain. Maybe it’s because we didn’t realize how early it would get dark. But the 100km/hr speed zones on the crazy winding steep roads in the dark was truly terrifying. It brought to mind Cool Runnings…”your bones don’t break in a bobsled. No…they shatter…” Once we got there, beautiful. Stars, glow worms! A few other campers. Just beware the drive there and back.
It was quiet at night and the toilet was clean with toilet paper. There were two other vans there. No lights, so it was very dark for stargazing.
Very good quiet campsite and great to see the light bulbs in the evenings... but only 4g therefore bad cell phone reception + the toilet leaves to be desired
Very quiet spot off the side of the road, with an easy walk which is lit up at night with glow worms. One long drop toilet, no sink. Some camping tables. Only 1 other van here with me at the end of May. Quiet, not much road traffic/noise either. Stars were out in force, can see the Milky Way. Quite cold at night so dress warm! Weak phone signal.
Very quiet spot, you should to do the walk at the night, for see a lot of glowworm Phone signal ok Lot of space
