Lovely place.
Gravel road to access the camping spots, which is very doable but watch out for the potholes and low hanging branches. There are three roads to the left of the gravel road with camping spots. We took the third one, as this one had multiple camping spots directly on the river. Beautiful scenery and the river is louder than the road, so no unpleasant noises. If unsure where to park, there is a document available on the DOC website that shows where you can. The signs mentioned are no longer readable.
