Waiopaoa Campsite
Waiopaoa Campsite
Waiopaoa Campsite sits at the mouth of the Waiopaoa inlet on the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk, within Te Urewera on New Zealand's North Island.
It is a designated Great Walk campsite managed under the governance of Te Uru Taumatua – Ngāi Tūhoe's operational entity, which cares for Te Urewera's tracks and facilities.
The campsite is located adjacent to Waiopaoa Hut and extends down toward the lake edge, making it a popular overnight stop on Day 2 of the standard itinerary — roughly 7. 6 km from Panekire Hut.
Campers share the hut's kitchen and toilet facilities with hut users. The site operates year-round, and DOC Campsite Passes are not accepted here.
