0.5/5

We camped here and some loser threw something at our camper and peeled out the road and came back to side swipe our van.
Left with scratches and dents down the whole side at 4am. Not a safe spot to camp. Would not recommend . He also went to the one further down the road.

Very little carpark, with clean toilets.
The weather was bad, we spent the night there. Unfortunately very noisy guys came and ruined a part of our night, but this is not the fault of the place.

Good location even if we had really really bad weather (a storm) and couldn't see Mount Taranaki.
Toilets were OK.

Nice small spot in the middle of the National Park.
Great chance to see (and hear) possums. Nice walks around.
