Would not recommend this site in the near future…there are great views yes, but problems.
As soon as it got dark, the rats came out. I saw rats running around the bushes and around the site. They were running near my car and running away when I moved my foot. I moved my car twice to get away from the bushes, but still ended up with mice in my car. Rats and mice have infested this site.
I called the DOC and apparently there was a poison drop, but has not worked yet.
Camp with caution…

4.5/5
I camped here for 1 night because of a big storm that came through.
$20 for me to camp, but get full use of the kitchen, hot shower, and laundry is available for $2. They were quite welcoming and friendly. Not a lot of other campers, just permanent caravans. Would definitely stay again, it’s a good spot between new Plymouth and Wellington
