Små område ved innsjøen. Jeg tror kanskje 10 kjøretøy kan parkere uten overbefolkning. Sandflies var et problem, men bare ta sprøyten din. Rett ved siden av innsjøen og 3 alternativer for fotturer. God signage på stedet. Drop toalett er hva du forventer. Veldig stille om natten. Hvis for opptatt eller for mange fluer, er campingplassen 7km opp veien et godt alternativ. Mye mer rom opp der. Ingen signal, så hvis du kommer nedlasting kart på forhånd.

The lake is incredibly beautiful, but the site is just an ordinary carpark without any views. The toilet isn't the best but usable. We planned to stay here for the night, but because of the huge amount of sandflies we decided to move on... We would still highly recommend visiting the lake, also the hike through the forest to the view point is amazing! To get there you have to drive a 20km gravel road, but it's in good condition and should be fine for just about any vehicle. There's no signal.

I stayed here for one night and it was lovely! There’s a drop toilet, picnic benches, and water that needs to be boiled before consuming. It’s next to a deer farm and is only 6km away from Lake Hauroko! As a heads up, it’s a long gravel road to get to this site. Sandflies weren’t too bad. Lots of spots to park.

Us and one other van stayed much closer to the lake last night, there are two grass, muddy pull-ins. Was lovely. Very peaceful but more sandflies as closer to the water. Also that area is under CCTV, but fine if you don't mind that. Rained over night and other van nearly got bogged, so be careful. Find us on Instagram if you like @twoguysvanlife and @saltyskin

Nice and clean simple grassy campsite. No frills but we liked it also because it’s close to lake Hauroko and has less sandflies ... Because the Lake has tons of them ... Btw if you don’t like mice don’t park too close to the woods. The tiny cute things checked us out quickly to see if there was something to eat. They didn’t stay around for long tho. Probably best to keep food well packed up.

Super hike! Plan hiking boots, it does not hurt! We did it in 2h30, the view at the top is great, worth seeing. You can even sleep on the spot before or after!

The track to the lookout (3hr return) is definitely recommended. It’s very steep towards the stop and mucky in parts. A little tough if you’re not too fit but worth it!

The 3hr track to the lookout is very steep and pretty hard to climb, but definitely worth it! Very nice 180 degree view. If you're in good shape you'll probably need less than 3hrs. The bush walk is... Well, a bush walk. Nice but nothing special. Still, if you have time you should definitely check out this lake!

Currently very wet and some complicated river passages, it climbs well and it's slippery. You will not see anyone!

The Bluff Lookout Track (3 hours return) is very nice :) We did it in 2 hours. Be prepared to climb slippery roots. Very remote and quiet. Great lookout over the lake and mountains from the bluff.
