Campsite in the Manawatu-Whanganui region
Clements Clearing Campsite is a spacious, remote bush camp in Kaimanawa Forest Park, reached by an easy gravel road with fire pits and clean toilets.
Clements Clearing is a spacious bush campsite in Kaimanawa Forest Park, in the Tūrangi/Taupō area of the central North Island. It's reached by an easy gravel road that winds through native bush, making it a great base for exploring the surrounding park.
The setting is quiet and remote, with a big open main area and smaller, more private sites dotted off side tracks. The large clear sites near the entrance are the most accommodating, while spots further in tend to be more overgrown. Facilities are simple but cover the essentials of a DOC campsite: non-powered tent sites, multiple fire pits for campfires (except during fire bans), non-flush toilets that campers regularly note are clean, and water from a nearby stream.
With plenty of room to spread out, low crowds, and the occasional deer wandering through after dark, it's a consistently well-loved spot to settle in for a night or use as a hub for the area.
