★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Basic DOC site with lots of space but few facilities (long drops). Great place to stop midway through the Timber Trail for a break midway or to camp the night.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Will forever love this place. Links up to the bike trail, but also has links to great trails made by other motorbikes into the forest. Some that are round trips, and some that we haven't yet reached the end of! The little bunker things at the campsite are great, but get STINKING hot during the day in summer. We definitely appreciated the water supply being a little waterfall in a stream just through the awesome natural bike ramp (sort of like a skateboard park) area. The water was freezing cold, even on the hottest days. Heaps of places to find firewood and if you cant, the people who stay there are usually really helpful and nice and will offer wood or to help you get a fire started. Fires are allowed (within reasonable, safe use) at the campsite which was what found us here in the first place. It's a LONG drive in on mostly gravel, and there is no reception apart from up an experience rider track next to 1 specific tree (we were lead there by some lovely guys who go up there often). Hunting allowed in certain areas, not my cup of tea so do your own research on where to go etc. Free to stay, toilets are longdrops which is not ideal for me but they were very clean!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome DOC campsite deep into NZ bush country, dusty and narrow road in but doable for all vehicles, just be careful of logging trucks who don't slow down or give way to anyone. Basic toilets (long drops), limited water. Right on the Timber Trail.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good camp site as it is out of the way of even paved roads so no traffic noise. As with all long drops there is a sense of fear as you open the door, but all were clean and smell was non intrusive. One large one even has hand rails for people of limited mobility. Not wheelchair friendly though.
Insect repellent is a must, I have never seen so many insects in one spot before. As with all non managed camp sites I think it will be hit or miss depending on the behavior of other campers.
