Except the lawn bowls toilets are locked, there are 2 power sockets against the wall of the single storey building which you have to obtain the key and pay the deposit from the Information Centre just
across the street. There is a dump station for the same. If you happened to pass Kawerau, this site is actually not bad.

Coes Ford is not an easy location to find without a GPS.
Well kept camp site by the river which is icy cold and crystal clear. Usually with some 20 camper vans and station wagons during our 2 night stay here. The toilets are clean and attended to by noon each day. For a free site, you cannot complain. We would say this is a great site and wish there are more such sites. Highly recommended. By the way, there is a new toilet block with stainless steel sinks for washing, a disabled toilet and men's and women's. There is water and another tap near the entry.
