For years several friends of mine have been telling me how nice this place is, and I finally got to stay here. It is right on the Waikato River just north or Arapuni. It is also right on the Waikato River trail for biking and walking.
I arrived here in the morning and there was quite a bit of room. (Mid-week) There are some pretty flash loos here too, but they are clean long drops.
Its lovely just sitting there with the music on watching the Swans and Ducks and generally taking it all in. 

A nice spot given it is freedom camping and it just shows how spoilt we are in the Waikato region with the council providing parking like this.


Hi Chris, thanks for the inspiration. Nice pictures and your story. Have a good time enjoy it all 🤗🍀🌞.
What’s the weather like as of beginning November on the Norther island? And towards the South?
Kind regards, Hans

Hi Chris and Fiona, we met you on Saturday 5th Oct at the Bay View hotel in Kaiaua and enjoyed chatting. Hope the Ompah band on Sunday was good 😊 Will get in touch when we plan to try out dads caravan behind the chevy truck, Ray’s Rest perhaps and hopefully before end of the year…. Be nice to have your company and some expert caravan/motor home travellers on hand just in case.
Cheers Vicki & John
