Tucked into native bush in the Kauaeranga Valley, this site sits near where the Whangaiterenga Stream meets the Kauaeranga River. Tent and non-powered sites are laid out in alcoves, so parking and pitches get a bit of natural privacy.

Facilities are simple but well kept. There are flush toilets and a water supply, with water also available from the stream. Everything stays clean and tidy, which is worth noting for a bush campsite.

The river is the pick here. Easy access for a swim or to cool off, and a couple of short bush walks lead straight out from the campsite. A quiet, relaxed spot to pitch up for the night surrounded by forest, and a handy base for exploring this corner of the valley.
