★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good variety of walks for most skill levels. Just make sure you are prepared if you are going up the top! I've seen way to many people way underprepared for sudden weather changes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Update as of January 3, 2022 the road to the camp grounds is closed about 5.1 km before you get to the camp area. There is no signage warning you of this until you just drive to a locked and closed off gate across the road. No signage to indicate when it will be reopened.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fantastic destination in the summer - great spot for a swim in the river, and a large gras flat grass area for picnics. When not used as a getaway destination, it's used as the starting point for various tramping/hiking tracks. If you're only there for a short time, an explore up the few paths in the plateau over the bridge is great.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ With the closure of Ōtaki Gorge Road, the quickest access is a hilly 8.5km walk from the carpark next to the road closure. As far as I can tell, the campsite is still open, but is quite overgrown and unmaintained. I was the only one in the whole campsite. Now even more isolated than ever, this is the place to come to truly get away from it all...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed here for sometime in my campervan. Saved on many occasions by the amazing DoC staff. This place is super isolated, no reception at all, just GPS. No power, and water needs to be boiled. Which is all fine with me. Highly recommend hiding out here for a few weeks, great place to detach from the world!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome spot. Difficult to access now (2022) due to a large slip that’s made the road a path from Shields Flat reserve (around 4 kms to the Otaki forks picnic area). The slip is hazardous but an easy hike through in dry weather. Beautiful bush and scenery. Lots of tracks around the Tararuas from this area but the slip has added an 8km return extra hike to any trip.
