Butchers Flat Campsite is a standard DOC campsite situated at the road end of the Wakamarina Valley, about 15 km up from the Highway 6 turnoff near Canvastown, between Havelock and Pelorus Bridge.

The final stretch of road is narrow and unsealed, with a shallow ford to cross. The site sits within Mount Richmond Forest Park, in an area once at the heart of one of New Zealand's richest gold-mining fields, with most of the gold exhausted by 1884.

The campsite offers a flat, grassy area with some spots beneath beech trees, alongside picnic tables and wheelchair-accessible toilets. The Wakamarina River is a short walk away and provides a popular swimming hole in summer, as well as fishing opportunities.

The nearby Doom and Wakamarina Tracks are accessible for walking and mountain biking. Note that high, unfenced cliffs on the western edge of the site require caution, particularly for children.
