0.5/5
This location is not allowed any more as an overnight park.
In December 2018 a guy of the DOC was installing a sign to forbid it.

1.5/5
Really not suitable for camper vans.
You will meet holes, mud and cows on the (long) gravels road. Not so quiet due to the main road which is just on the other side of the valley.

4.0/5
Quiet place to stay overnight.
It is a small camping occupied by a few empty tents or caravans, but you may find a place for a medium van. You are encouraged to let 5 $ as a donation.
Direct access to the pebble beach.
Attention, the reviews of Joseph Staples and Bjorn Private seem to concern the other camp "Rakaia Huts Campground Southbridge", on the other side of the river.
