A beautiful kiwi treasure spot.
We came in late August and there was nobody here. Probably still a bit chilly. I can imagine this place goes off in the summer time.
Went register into the site station but no envelopes or any kind of documentation available so decided to risk it. Happy to pay if any one from the council would like to get a hold of me.
Couple of drawbacks was the amount of general rubbish lying around from previous occupiers. Bit sad too see tidy kiwi not here.
What was interesting was the amount of dead wallabies on the road parallel to the camping area. It would appear that the locals had been through the area night shooting leaving the carcasses where they fell. We counted five fresh carcasses on the road.
Overall a lovely spot to park up for the night.
