DESCRIPTION:

Close to Reefton township. Once a gold mining area this is now a popular picnicking and camping site. The campsite is well drained but be prepared for West Coast rain downpours. Try gold fossicking in the creek, or mountain bike the road. Close to Reefton township and a great place for exploring Victoria Forest Park walks.
