Magnificent manicured lightly terraced grounds lead gently down to a natural swimming pool in the river. The sites are large and well treed, many having

their own picnic tables and there are vast open areas for recreation and a

childrens’ play area. The facilities are excellent, clean and spruce. The large

kitchen/living room has a large covered dining deck (with BBQ’s) overlooking

the river. A kauri servery opens to the spacious wood panelled social/dining

room with TV. The ablutions are not numerous, but are clean and tiled, with

liquid soap, hair dryers, plus a disability suite. The laundry has auto washing

and dryer. Internet access is available. At the office/shop you can arrange a

guided night walk where you may see a kiwi roaming. Bookings essential for

the night walk. Secluded in the fold of bush-clad hills, this topnotch camp is

close to the kauri forests, 33km north of Dargaville. Your hosts are Chris and

Jane McCombs. IAC wifi is available, cell coverage limited. Camping costs
