4.5/5
Great spot, very easy access in an area that is often muddy etc, this one is a clear winner!
Lovely clean toilet, even has soap with the hand washing sink! Close to the road but minimal traffic.

Take the road to Mt Richmond Forest Park, to the left after you cross the Wairau river to the north of Renwick.
It's about 10km in, past many farming properties, and signposts come up occasionally to reassure you that you haven't missed it! Huge grassed area, little bushy walks, nice afternoon sunshine, and clean toilet block. Great as last night before the ferry.

5.0/5
Opening hours are 8.30-5pm every day.
Thought I would add that information as I couldn't find it when we were on our way there. Very informative visitor centre and the best for nature. Great views too!

4.0/5
Peaceful campground, resident chickens add character!
Good but basic toilet. Some beautiful walks nearby. We came in with a big camper and were a little deterred by the description but no fording required and roads in fine condition. $6 each DOC honesty box. Beats camping beside the highway!
