    Decent phone reception. No Toilets. No signs declaring the spot a freedom camp site, so we moved further because we don’t want to risk any fines at all. Otherwise I think it’s a nice spot, so if you could afford an unlikely fine, then feel free to use the spot.

    Was perfect for the night. Not clearly signposted at all. Toilets not working.

    My first free campsite in NZ, it was a delightful but also interesting one alone with the rest of the being. There is no noise coming from the plant, but it's pretty wild, mosquitos, some really stubborn weka who will never ever give up for your food, and a wild boar that made me not want to go for the little hike. Unfortunately toilets as of 31.01.26 are no longer operating.

    It's not possible anymore to go over the little bridge, but there are still plenty of spots when you turn right (instead of left over the bridge), to the start of the dam walk It's a decent little spot, with flat areas

    We stayed two nights here. Go across the bridge and there is heaps of room with toilets handy. We didn't notice the hum of the power station. It's a nice enough place to stay off you need a place ? .

    Lovely spot. The walk is stunning. A little up and down but easily managed. One of the prettiest walks I’ve been on.
