This is a great hidden spot to camp.

In order to get there, follow Whataroa Flat road until it turns into Adamson road. Continue until the road splits and both branches turn into gravel. At the split, turn left on Whataroa Gorge road. It will follow some turns to become a gravel pit by the river. It's an excellent place to pull up for the night, isolated and peaceful. No amenities, just a place to camp. Not too many sandflies, though the mosquitoes came out in force around 9pm. Still a lovely place to camp and fewer bugs than we've seen at other paid campgrounds.
