★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great freedom camping spot. Two sets of toilets that are cleaned daily. Not too far from Taupō but you feel like you are away from the city. Great swimming in the river. Small inlets to avoid the current. Easier enough to get a spot if arriving mid afternoon or even evening- very peaceful during the day. Lots of security checks each day from different organisations so it feels very safe. A few short bush and road tracks to make the most of too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice day area by the river and free camping allowed in the higher carpark. There is a rope swing into the river but beware the current is strong and the river deep. Just down the road from Huka Falls and Taupo town is minutes away. ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spent a night camping here; the riverside setting is nice but that's about it. A number of people seem to have taken up permanent residence at the campground despite the clear 3-night limit, intimidating other campers, loudly playing rock music at all hours of the night and snapping at anyone who dared ask them to turn it down. Council really needs to step in here to start enforcing their own rules here

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Freedom camping is good here had a few family members that have stayed a few nights and swimming in the river is good for the kids if you find the right spots.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No running water nor electricity making this a great place for a taste of camping. No bon fire allowed but a BBQ stove with charcoal was all we need for the marshmallows. A dip in the Huka river was a gift in a hot day. Quiet at night and all we can hear was Tui singing. Great location too as it’s really close to Taupo city centre. Enjoyed our 2 nights stay there and hope we can visit again soon. You can pick the spot for your tent if arrive early afternoon. But people still finding place ok even arriving at midnight. Enjoy!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a lovely area to visit. So peaceful. My friend and I walked around from one end to the other taking in the scenery. Then went back to the main area and had a picnic morning tea. Sat watching the river, enjoying the birdsong and watching the coming and going of swimmers, kayakers and other visitors.
