The Te Henga Road approach is roughly 1.1 kilometres along a farm road. Council warns it can be slippery when wet; vehicles cannot enter the campsite.
The water comes from an untreated farm spring. Carry treatment equipment and check kauri-related track notices before extending your stay into nearby forest walks.
Check the official campsite information before travelling. The source-check date is not live availability or an assurance that access conditions are unchanged.
