    Drove all the way out only too discover you cannot stay here in a van because there actually is no vehicle access to the campsite, even though it says on here that there is vehicle access and you can stay

    in your vehicle. Brilliant waste of time.

    This campsite sits at the most popular start point for the Heaphy Track.

    Not as visually attractive as many other campsites along this great walk, but very well situated for an early start up to Perry Saddle the next day. Flush toilets too!
