Information

Bartlett's Ford Reserve

Bartletts Ford is a 0.6250ha reserve with the river running alongside. It is popular for casual summer recreation with river access, swimming and freedom camping. Dogs are permitted unleashed but under control on the reserve. A lovely scenic spot to stop, relax and enjoy yourself.

This is very basic camp site where you will need to bring everything with you. There is no running water and the public toilet is open from 1 November through to 31 March (though it may be longer depending on weather).

Bartletts Ford is located on Terrace Road, Pohangina.

    Large open grassy field with two picnic tables and one long drop.

    Could easily hold a couple dozen campers. You need to bring your own water. Nice river near by with a couple of small swimming holes.

    Beautiful peaceful place by the river, plenty of room for everyone, great swimming, and a public toilet.
