epic campsite.
noise free, plenty of room, dark, and has okay bathroom (portable toilets). only major downfall that can’t be avoided is the major sand flies that come with this campsite mainly comes out during dusk/dawn hours.

Was awful!
You have to book on line. Now we on why!! Sign says “toilets, water” that way. Well, long drop toilet - out of order. ????Water horrible. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Left at 06:25am. Didn’t see any ‘concrete barbecue’ places.

Would give it a higher grade if there were less sandflies, but the campsite is worth it for the views.
The location is amazing and great hiking opportunities nearby and crystal clear river in walking distance. Toilets are okay, but there are flies everywhere

Last minute decision to come here based on other reviews and I’m so glad I did!
It’s gorgeous. Drop loo closest to the walk was the nicest. Made good use of the fire pits about. Walk to river is a bit tedious… be prepared to take shoes and socks off to wade through water- or be prepared to get them wet if you take the longer route through the grass/marshland. It’s not a proper path so be careful, very easy to think you’re about to step on grass and end up in knee deep water. Look on satellite view on maps to help you. Lots of dead wood on the rocks here for fires. Incredible views in the day and at night of the stars. Easy to get too. Wished I’d stayed an extra night!

Quiet and stunning place.
I loved it! But...
Facilities okay, too many sand flies and the way to the river wasn't doable.

Great campground for a night or 2, near the highway but no noise from the passing cars.
Amazing mountain views! Toilet and multiple fire pits available. Took advantage and made a fire using dead wood I found in the area. No bugs when I was there but that was probably because of the high winds. Highly recommend!

Stunning topography, camping at juncture of the Alfred and Maruia rivers, with peaks and valleys in every direction.
I can sympathise with the “sandflies from hell” comment, they do seem immune to even 40% DEET spray. But lovely big site with big grassy pitches with natural terraces and smaller pitches to hide in amongst the beech. The river is a bit hard to get to (don’t think you’re camping on it) but a lovely site. Not a huge amount to do: so unlike some other DOC sites where we’ve settled in for a couple of days, we moved on. Can also support the bird life comment: at dusk the whole place changed and kicked off with large green beetles buzzing lazily around, numbers of owls going for it, booming calls and screeches and all sorts. BUSY place, don’t camp near the access way.

Lovely spot with river in close walking distance.
Set among beautiful mountain views with fire pits and picnic tables and lovely sites 2 pick from.
Toilet use on site.
Beware if you are irritated by sand flies this spot isn't for you, I seen other people's reviews first but still went here and by god the sand flies made us pack up earlier than expected to get back on the road. Lots and I mean LOTS of DECENT repellant is neccessary

Near the road but still quiet.
Lots of trees but also spaces in the open if u need the sun. As previously stated views of the hills close by. Many firepits for when the restrictions are lifted

We arrived, looked around and thought it was a beautiful spot so we paid the $16 fee and set everything up...then they came for us...
BEWARE
Sandflies from HELL!!!!
And the most insane horde of bumblebees that we've ever encountered.
They appear immune to repellent and we had to hide in our campervan, even nightfall did not stop them.
The next morning it was raining yet there they were clinging to the side of our vehicle waiting for us to emerge.
Better off staying in Reefton or just keep driving.

Easy access from the main road, but still quiet, large spaces at the lawn areas or in "private" boxes under the trees.
Prepared fire places, clean toilets, water and bins available. 5h walk (return) to St. Daniel Lake. Beware of the sand flies!

Nice big open campground with heaps of room, you can tuck in under the trees on the bush edge for some protection from wind and rain .
Great views across the flats to the river and mountains.

Our first stay at a DOC site.
Beautiful views and some really lovely walks through the forest. The site is also on the Alpine fault line and in 1964 the scientist Frank Edison built a wall to see if the could measure the movement in the Alpine fault. Must see, part of NZ history.

But it's a lovely place easy to find mountain views.

Heaps of room here, with quite a few drop toilets spread about.
Nice and quiet. Normally $8 pp but as we had a DOCS camp pass, it was free. Would have given 10/10 if it had flushing toilets.

Were happy to find a place to stay - only $5 for the night with toilets.

epic campsite.
noise free, plenty of room, dark, and has okay bathroom (portable toilets). only major downfall that can’t be avoided is the major sand flies that come with this campsite mainly comes out during dusk/dawn hours.

Was awful!
You have to book on line. Now we on why!! Sign says “toilets, water” that way. Well, long drop toilet - out of order. ????Water horrible. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Left at 06:25am. Didn’t see any ‘concrete barbecue’ places.

3.5/5
Would give it a higher grade if there were less sandflies, but the campsite is worth it for the views.
The location is amazing and great hiking opportunities nearby and crystal clear river in walking distance. Toilets are okay, but there are flies everywhere

Last minute decision to come here based on other reviews and I’m so glad I did!
It’s gorgeous. Drop loo closest to the walk was the nicest. Made good use of the fire pits about. Walk to river is a bit tedious… be prepared to take shoes and socks off to wade through water- or be prepared to get them wet if you take the longer route through the grass/marshland. It’s not a proper path so be careful, very easy to think you’re about to step on grass and end up in knee deep water. Look on satellite view on maps to help you. Lots of dead wood on the rocks here for fires. Incredible views in the day and at night of the stars. Easy to get too. Wished I’d stayed an extra night!

Quiet and stunning place.
I loved it! But...
Facilities okay, too many sand flies and the way to the river wasn't doable.

Great campground for a night or 2, near the highway but no noise from the passing cars.
Amazing mountain views! Toilet and multiple fire pits available. Took advantage and made a fire using dead wood I found in the area. No bugs when I was there but that was probably because of the high winds. Highly recommend!

Stunning topography, camping at juncture of the Alfred and Maruia rivers, with peaks and valleys in every direction.
I can sympathise with the “sandflies from hell” comment, they do seem immune to even 40% DEET spray. But lovely big site with big grassy pitches with natural terraces and smaller pitches to hide in amongst the beech. The river is a bit hard to get to (don’t think you’re camping on it) but a lovely site. Not a huge amount to do: so unlike some other DOC sites where we’ve settled in for a couple of days, we moved on. Can also support the bird life comment: at dusk the whole place changed and kicked off with large green beetles buzzing lazily around, numbers of owls going for it, booming calls and screeches and all sorts. BUSY place, don’t camp near the access way.

Lovely spot with river in close walking distance.
Set among beautiful mountain views with fire pits and picnic tables and lovely sites 2 pick from.
Toilet use on site.
Beware if you are irritated by sand flies this spot isn't for you, I seen other people's reviews first but still went here and by god the sand flies made us pack up earlier than expected to get back on the road. Lots and I mean LOTS of DECENT repellant is neccessary

Near the road but still quiet.
Lots of trees but also spaces in the open if u need the sun. As previously stated views of the hills close by. Many firepits for when the restrictions are lifted

We arrived, looked around and thought it was a beautiful spot so we paid the $16 fee and set everything up...then they came for us...
BEWARE
Sandflies from HELL!!!!
And the most insane horde of bumblebees that we've ever encountered.
They appear immune to repellent and we had to hide in our campervan, even nightfall did not stop them.
The next morning it was raining yet there they were clinging to the side of our vehicle waiting for us to emerge.
Better off staying in Reefton or just keep driving.

Easy access from the main road, but still quiet, large spaces at the lawn areas or in "private" boxes under the trees.
Prepared fire places, clean toilets, water and bins available. 5h walk (return) to St. Daniel Lake. Beware of the sand flies!

Easy to get to from the main road yet still a peaceful spot.
We camped here and walked to Lake Daniels the next day. Would have given more points if there weren't so many sandflies!

Nice big open campground with heaps of room, you can tuck in under the trees on the bush edge for some protection from wind and rain .
Great views across the flats to the river and mountains.

Our first stay at a DOC site.
Beautiful views and some really lovely walks through the forest. The site is also on the Alpine fault line and in 1964 the scientist Frank Edison built a wall to see if the could measure the movement in the Alpine fault. Must see, part of NZ history.

But it's a lovely place easy to find mountain views.
We stayed in may wasn't that cold which was good no sand flies when we went. Enjoyable quite location. Beautiful views.

Heaps of room here, with quite a few drop toilets spread about.
Nice and quiet. Normally $8 pp but as we had a DOCS camp pass, it was free. Would have given 10/10 if it had flushing toilets.

Great little spot to stay at, we stayed here on the drive from Havelock to Kaikoura (Coast Road still closed Feb 17).
Huge site, lots of camping under the beech forest or out in tree clearing. Easy to find just up the road on the left from the Spring Junction township. Only downside were the amount of sandflies but with good repellent they're not too much of an issue.

First night spent in self contained campervan after having hot pool splash, next to highway, big site with 3 toilets, tap water and creek water (which we use for cooking and cleaning), can't see river
(but you can hear it). Very good view.
