Top Flat

Top Flat is one of several designated camping areas within McLaren Falls Park, located near Lake McLaren in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.

The site sits close to the water's edge, making it a popular spot for campers who enjoy the park's abundant birdlife, including ducks and geese. The campsite is equipped with toilet and BBQ facilities.

Shower facilities are available at the nearby Pin Oak Flat campsite, roughly a five- to ten-minute walk away. A glowworm trail accessible from Top Flat offers a notable after-dark experience along the river.

The park is cashless, and campsites must be booked and paid for in advance online, with a maximum stay of three nights permitted.
