3.0/5
Decent spot for overnight stay.
Just a big gravel space. Didn’t use the toilets that were available but there were toilets there. Was pretty full when we visited (early Nov) but felt pretty unregulated. Patchy phone signal (we found it ok) and 3 huge potholes as you enter the gravel lot (beware if arriving late). No dodgy characters or anything like that.

Great spot!
Gates closed at 8.30 (said 8pm on the sign). Toilet open all night which was great and it was such a clear night for stargazing. Only problem was the cell service - it was incredibly patchy and inconsistent. Totally fine for us as we had other things to keep us entertained!
Felt very safe and we were the only van there. Left a few dollars donation the next morning and did the Kauri walk the next day - a short walk but beautiful nonetheless
