Reviews

3.5/5

this campsite is best in summer due to tree canopy, providing great cover.
a few walks available from here are also used by hunters etc, not well marked as usual DOC walks are. no easy water except a local stream, 1 toilet. Great quiet place right next to Clements Mill forestry Road. fireplace provided. Great little campsite, stayed here often.
