A Department of Conservation campsite in Whanganui National Park, beside the Whanganui River and a good stop on the River Journey. The site is large, flat and grassy, with 36 tent sites, toilets, a cold water tap and barbecues. There is also a 10-bunk bunkroom and boat access nearby. Visitors say the tent area is a fair walk from the river, the water comes from rainwater tanks, and the hut has power and a heater but no cooking facilities, so bring your own gas cooker. It is reached off State Highway 4, just south of Owhango, along Oio Road, which is winding and partly unsealed. One visitor says a shower could be bought across the road at Blue Duck cafe for $4, as at October 2026. We hear a river take-out has washed out, leaving a very narrow path cut into the hillside, so check the path before you go.
