    Amazing calm place near a beautiful stream.

    Longdrop toilet was fine. Some places near bushes for a little bit more privacy.

    Would definetly recommend

    Good spot!

    Close to visitor’s center. Drop toilet was well-maintained.

    Very basic campground and $10 fee for camping.

    We stayed there one night because it was late and we had no other choice. There are plenty of better places and paying $10 just for being in the valley seems to me a scam.

    Great campsite with one toilet only, but next to a clean river with a pool for swimming, drinking water, just a few metres away at DOC.

    Perfect first night in our campervan at Shag Stream camp, a quiet spot by the creek with shady trees and a swimming hole.

    One word : disappointing!

    Don't go there, unless you want to pay 10$ for a place with 20cm grass, hypse of sandflies and smelling toilets! We stayed in many free campgrounds which were much better than this...
