Lake Aniwhenua Campground

Lake Aniwhenua Campground sits on the northeastern shore of Lake Āniwaniwa, a shallow, man-made lake on the Rangitaiki River in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island, about 13 km north of Murupara.

The reserve is managed by the Whakatane District Council and accommodates tents and non-self-contained vehicles, with a maximum stay of seven nights in any four-week period. Basic facilities on site include toilet and shower amenities and a cooking shelter.

The lake itself is a well-regarded trout fishery and water-skiing destination, with rainbow trout plentiful and the occasional larger brown trout drawing keen anglers.

Refuse must be packed out to the transfer station in Murupara, as depositing litter on site is prohibited.
