Enjoy your two favourite pastimes at this rural golf club complete with campsite, just 2km south of Dannevirke. Tucked away at the rear of the club carpark is a bush-ringed grassy camping area with 9 power points and some room for tents. You're well out of the way of any errant golf balls and guests do not need to be golfers. Campers have the use of the club facilities, including bar and food at certain times; but the kitchen is not available for guests to use. In addition to the club locker rooms, extra unisex showers and toilets are available 24/7. The gate is locked at 9. 30 pm and Armourguard patrol the grounds twice each night.

From SHwy 2 west of Dannevirke turn into Maharahara Road, then Kumeti Road and follow to the road end. You will find basic camping (toilets and BBQs only) in a sheltered, bushy glade. Water from the nearby stream must be
boiled before drinking. Day walks over the Ruahine Range can be planned
from here.

The camp is directly behind the Aramoho Hotel pub and TAB and beside the
river and the railway line. The cluster of permanent living caravans and house
buses, and the back yard bits and pieces around the place give the camp a
lived-in, rather than a holiday feel. The ablutions and kitchen are basic. Tent
sites from $10 per night; powered sites $25 per night. Bruce is the on-site
manager.
