About Kuripapango campsite

Native species are fighting for survival from predation by rats, stoats and possums. Without protection, we risk losing New Zealand’s unique natural heritage and biodiversity.

Alongside our partners, we use 1080, large-scale trapping and other methods to protect native birds, bats, frogs, lizards, giant land snails and forests. We do this work at important conservation sites across the country to help them recover.

1080 is the most effective tool to control introduced predators over large areas and rough terrain. Decades of research shows it protects vulnerable wildlife and forests and helps populations to grow.

The programme is a critical part of the Predator Free 2050 movement. It is protecting the remaining populations of native species while other tools are being developed to eradicate possums, rats and stoats.

To help achieve this, we are consulting and partnering with hapū, iwi, communities, landowners and other organisations involved in conservation.

Best Campground in New Zealand

G	Glenn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to get away from it all with nice views.. beautiful clean river for swimming but the water is often chilly. Can also get very windy and cold at night if its not summer. Basic toilet but nothing else, no running tap water. Listen to the morepork owls at night, a few possums round at night to so keep your food inside.
L	Leigh Johnson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful DoC camp site on a stunning stretch of the river.
R	Ren Witchell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome spot with great swimming holes and campsites. Unfortunately there are people who bring their music, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting away. Other than that a fun place to be.
G	Grace Fully on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spot on location. Enough walks to keep you active, the river was lovely and refreshing. Outside off the grid, style for the weekend was the best. Only an hour or so out of both Napier or Hastings. I throughly recommend all who love camping, head out there. Take warm gear for the bed, you'll be right! Take a water filter for the river water, it's a bit earthy taste going on atm. See you all there!
J	Jessie Liu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We love love love this place! A great place to go off grids, enjoy the river and the landscape! Please do make a donation when you arrive or leave! It's a hidden gem and we can't afford to lose it!
P	Paul & Caitriona Hutchinson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great DoC campsite that feels like you're a million miles from civilisation, but only an hours drive from Napier. There are 3 long-drop type toilets with a lot of areas to set up a camp. It's a short walk down to the river with some lovely swimming holes down there. The drive from here through to Taihape is lovely - lots of beautifully kept farm/stations in big hilly country.
J	Jack Oolders on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easily one of the better DOC camp sites I’ve stayed at. The camp ground is huge, there is plenty of space and lots of little hidden/private camp sites that border the larger areas. The river was super warm for swimming. We had a wonderful time, definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice retreat.
G	Glen Baker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome place to camp right at the foot of the Kaweka Ranges, Awesome views, lots of native birdlife, awesome swimming holes, private, sheltered campsites in amongst the trees. And it's free.
