Lawrence Campsite

Lawrence Campsite sits on the Tutaekuri River within Kaweka Forest Park, roughly 1. 5 hours west of Napier in the Hawke's Bay region.

It is reached via a 7-kilometre gravel road off Napier-Taihape Road, with the final 500 metres requiring a 4WD vehicle — a factor that keeps the site pleasantly uncrowded. The campsite offers five non-powered tent sites in a scenic riverside setting.

Visitors can fish, hunt, swim, and canoe on the Tutaekuri River, and a number of day and overnight walking tracks start from the camp. Facilities are basic, including non-flush toilets, a shelter, and stream water.

The site is free, bookings are not required, fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs are not allowed.
