The camp is closed, tracks as well and view from Rangiaukaha trig overgrown BUT saw a few very curious kiwibirds after dusk and before dawn right on the camp road!

Hvis du kommer gjennom Kawakawa vær oppmerksom på Maps tar deg ned Waikare Rd. Sign sier 7km av grus, men er faktisk 15km. Veldig vind og et par gnarly vaske ut / slips å se etter på kantene- men en vakker kjøretur gjennom skogen selv om sannsynligvis ikke bra om natten eller i dårlig vær. Kommer nærmere, se opp for fiskere og bussjåfører går hjem. De liker å kutte hjørner! Campground var ganske stille når vi var her.

God størrelse og godt organisert med nummererte tomter, så hvis du bestiller du er sikker på å ha mye plass.Mange familier bare chilling ut, dårlig telefonsignal, mange rene toaletter og kalde dusjer, vil sterkt anbefale, stor verdi og stor loxarion

Very pleasant campsite, $15 per person with the possibility of paying online or at the entrance if you arrive during office hours. Cold shower but rather pleasant because in a wooden cabin. Well-maintained dry toilets. No drinking water, taps available but no possibility of washing dishes. Very pretty spot, silent even if very busy. Good telephone reception. Online reservation recommended!

Lovely beach front sites. Good signal and basic doc facilities. The beach is quite rocky and tidal however but there is a lovely outlook of the bay from the campsite

Sannsynligvis den vakreste campingplassen jeg noensinne har bodd på, veldig stille, så mange vakre fugler å se på, herlig hav å svømme i.

Deres utsikter er virkelig vakre, men ellers var det noe skuffende. Ingen drikkevann, bare kalde dusjer, ingen klosser med vask, men bare med fallgrube og denne krigsnatten også ikke belyst.

A very nice campsite in a beautiful location. We stopped for one night and could easily have stayed longer to relax if we had more time. Campsite was quite full with NZ fa milies making up most of the campers, a good chance to meet some locals. Even with the kids playing it was very chill. Recommend the hike, we saw a lovely sunrise from the trig point. Worthwhile and no freedom sites nearby anyway.

We just spent 4 nights here, we were on site 84, away from everyone else which was great, just needed to use the levellers. Such a stunning spot. Toilets and inside cold showers, not as nice as Otamure Bay. Didn’t see any kiwis but did hear them. We did the Whangaruru North Head Track too which was great! Only downside was the host I’m afraid. We pulled up at 12:00, check-in is from 14:00, but our campsite was completely free of anyone, completely dry, yet she made us wait the 2 hours in the carpark, in the sun, literally staring at our campsite. Now we have ran a Holiday Park and worked at DOC campsites, there are rules of course, but you can also be human! Ya know! Such a difference to other DOC hosts we’ve met. Anyway, apart from her highly recommended! Saltyskin. Blog @saltyskin

What a nice spot! We saw 4 kiwis last night!!! Incredible
