If you go in from the Tapanui side via Black Gully Rd there's a legit wee camping ground there, quite nice. I think the reason for "no camping" is the supposed fire and H&S risk for the forestry crews. A few people I know do "overnight" in the blocks but usually don't leave their vehicle in there and keep a low profile . . . . as long as you don't do anything "untoward" I'd just go and do it. Its a fantastic place and plenty of game if you do "old fella" hunting - watch and wait - a lot!
