Kun menimme, se oli hyvin hiljainen, kaunis ja hyvin hoidettu paikka. Matkan varrella oli joitakin huoltotyötä, kun tulimme aamulla takaisin, ja tie oli suljettu niille, jotka menivät sinne. Kun menimme, se oli noin klo 5 ja tie oli avoinna. Automme ei ole 4WD, mutta huolellisesti ja niin kauan kuin se ei sataa, se on hallittavissa.

Tie on OK pienelle kämppäilijälle, joka ottaa sen hitaasti. Teimme sen 7m Sprinterissa - mutta emme suosittele tätä, jos olet juuri ottanut yhden lentokentältä ja et ole perehtynyt suurempien ajoneuvojen kanssa. Esp korkealla kaudella. Viimeiset 20km ovat suljettuja, tiukat ja voit tuskin vetää yli ... ja et voi kääntyä puolitiehen asti - jolloin olet tehnyt vaikean osan.

Tämä leirintäalue on upea. Ajamme yöllä, joten se ei ehdottomasti ollut niin helppoa päästä tielle, mutta se on sen arvoista. Ajamme korkealla huipulla hiace NO 4WD ja otimme sen hitaasti. Tie on poljettu puoli tietä sitten likainen tie, mutta on käsitelty huonommin. Yksi parhaista leirintäalueista olen ollut ja tulee takaisin kesällä!

Yksi parhaista vapaa leiri olen koskaan ollut! Niin rauhallinen, ihana luonto, vuoret ympäri leiriä! WC oli erittäin puhdas! Tie ei ollut niin huono kuin ihmiset kirjoittivat aiemmissa kommenteissa. Suosittelen ehdottomasti! Peel Ridge (5km) on hyvä vaellus ja voit jatkaa Lake Peel vaellus (5km)

Se on väsymätön ja kaunis, mutta en usko, että se kannattaa ajaa.

Really nice camp area. The long drop toilet was very clean while we were there. Road was well maintained few pot holes, typical kiwi road. We took a 2wd Van and really enjoyed our time. Sandflies were very intense in the morning but dropped away in the evening. Recommend taking your own firewood as there wasn't much dry wood around. Would definitely stay here again

Road in really poor condition . Very hard unless 4x4 vehicle. Definitely NOT for campervan or low clearance 2wd cars. Lots of slips and large rocks have fallen on the road. Campsite very muddy due to rain and someone has done wheelies all over the campsite and ripped it up. Great wilderness area otherwise. Toilet a smelly long drop. River water only source of water. Wekas will steal anything you put down for a. Moment cheeky sods

Pros: Beautiful spot nestled away in the mountains and I would say it is worth the drive in like others have said. Spectacular walks all around, and I recommend the Peels Ridge with beautiful views looking right up the valley. We were pretty much on our own every night except for 1 other camper who set up on the other side of the camp. Cons: We were in our 2WD L300 van and had to take it real easy on the very unsealed and pothole-ridden roads. There are quite literally thousands and thousands of sandflies, especially as it rained for 2 of the 3 days we were there. It was very humid too, so our van got very condensated and we ended up having to leave early so we could dry it out somewhere else. Overall it is a beautiful spot, but if you can try to go in nice weather as the rain makes everything soaked. And also bring insect repellent; you'll need it!

Awesome camping spot! Drop toilet was quite clean but a bit smelly. The road up is steep and can get quite corrugated and you will find quite a few potholes on your way ? Should be easy with a 4WD, take enough time with a 2WD

This place is Magic! Highly recommend if you are competent on NZ gravel roads. So many walks to keep you busy, we stayed 3 nights and definitely could have stayed longer.
