Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
follow the dirt road (we did it in a 2WD in dry conditions no big deal) until the VERY end (past the farm - close the gates behind if necessary!) - there is a tiny DOC "parking" where you can leave your car (guess sleeping there inside your van would be possible as well...) - grab your camping gear and walk the trail for less than 1km. After the little downhill turn right onto the grass and search your way down to the river (before the big bend) - there is a small beach (with grass to put the tent) covered with trees, a beautiful spot for the night, out of view, calm except for wild river.
Do NOT use during rain season!
Alternative: hike up to the first DOC hut in the mountains, a good place to stay as well!
