Forum Hunt - ideas?

OK guys the enquiry that I have made about permission to camp at the end of Waipakihi Road indicates that permission will not be granted. Although there was strong indication that people do just camp there anyway, I am unsure whether we would all want to go through the effort of getting there and take the chance (however unlikely) that we could be thrown out. As an alternate plan there is a DoC camp ground a little further North down Kaimanawa Road where we would not have that risk and this camp is in close proximity to the Urchin and Umukarikari tracks. Thoughts?

As long as its flat and big enough for me to set up my tarp im good.

I was going to post some pics of the Kaimanawa rd and Urchin camp sites but the only one I could find is up near the top.... But there is reasonable space at both sites... Urchin was wet under foot when I was there but it had been pissing down

[Toby]

we should be all right in summer, some area I can set this up? or something similar.

[Barefoot]

Just don't clean your teeth by the light of a headlamp round there, aye.

[Toby]

Lol very good point.

There is plenty of camping areas down there Rushy and pleanty of area for everyone to wip of in the wagon and spread out a bit. loads of trout in the Tongariro too for those that way inclined.

Sounds like a better go then. Maybe we could get the Dundee family up to show us how to catch trout.

If i can make it down i will bring a 8 man raft so we can have a couple of runs down the river (also depends on the water level)
