The road is very rough and inaccessible for vans.

Jalan ini relatif lurus ketika tidak ada hujan selama beberapa menit, tetapi sangat tidak nyaman. kami berkendara pada sekitar 20 km / jam selama 12 km. kami tidak pergi sejauh ke tempat perkemahan terdekat, merasa benar-benar terisolasi. kami tidak berani pergi ke toilet.

Terrible road, muddy, narrow bushes scratch car paint.

Kami tidak bisa sampai ke tempat berkemah. Jalan yang ditunjukkan sangat sempit dan keriput menggaruk cat van kecil kami. Kendaraan itu datang untuk beristirahat di paddle lumpur. Yang memaksa kami untuk memberikan bantuan atas biaya kami sendiri untuk berbalik. Kecewa dan besar biaya tak terduga. Kami akhirnya pergi ke Wakapapa di mana berkemah berbayar setuju untuk membebankan kami banyak tetapi tanpa reservasi untuk malam.

Kami baru saja menemukan, bahwa tidak diizinkan untuk berkemah di sini dan jalan-jalan cukup buruk, jadi saya tidak akan merekomendasikannya sama sekali.

Directions aren't correct, you need to take John McDonald road which is rd before heading north. It's about 11km up a forest track, was bit rough in places but slowly you will get there if not in a 4wd. You can walk about 200m down a track to see caves but there isn't camping here, another couple kms up there is pokaka mill campsite which is a big basic flat area to camp. Toilet between caves & campsite. Probably not ideal in 2wd if just for one nite

The path is not indicated. We must make a passage in the water (depending on the level the barrier is closed). It takes at least 7-8km, because Google maps does not locate the cellars. We finally gave up and landed a little after the education center. No passage except for a few hunters early in the morning.

No recent comments but the sign at the entrance indicates no camping on the entire reserve then after it is 4-8km of gravel road. We turned around after 1km the road was getting worse and worse.

The road seemed pretty rough after the half so we stayed before the place. Plenty of area across the forestry without blocking ways. You have to be fully self-contained as there are no water nor toilets around.

Stay away from this spot. Exhausting 30min drive on bad gravel road.
