You'll have no worries taking a Toyota corolla into the Blue gums.
Was up there a few weeks ago and the road is good as gold.
The ford generally only has a few inches of water and has a good concrete base.
Check out the water level markers before you cross and if under the red line you'll be fine.
Take your rifle and a fishing rod as there is good hunting and fishing all along the river towards Te Puia Hut.
It's a popular place and I'd be surprised if you were camping alone.
The Hot Tubs are great for a relaxing evening swim.
Have fun.
Cheers
Pete
