Makene Road Camp Site

Makene Road Camp Site is a small, informal campsite located at approximately kilometre 155 on the Te Araroa Trail in Northland, positioned at the start of the Raetea Forest section.

The site sits alongside a stream and offers basic facilities including a pit toilet, picnic table, and washing line. Water is available from the adjacent creek, though it should be treated before drinking.

The campsite operates on a koha (donation) basis, so bringing cash for the donations box is recommended. A caravan on site can also be booked separately by contacting the landowner. There is no power available.

Hikers should note there is no reliable water source between an earlier campsite and Makene Road, making it an important resupply point for those traversing the Raetea Forest.
