Maruia Falls Carpark (self contained only)

Maruia Falls Carpark is a free, self-contained-only overnight parking area managed by DOC Nelson/Tasman, situated beside State Highway 65 within the Maruia Falls Scenic Reserve near Murchison.

Stays are limited to four nights in a single calendar month, and parking is permitted between 5 pm and 9 am only. The carpark sits alongside the Maruia River, offering visitors a front-row view of the scenic falls.

Being adjacent to SH65, some infrequent noise from passing freight trucks is possible. The site is unpowered and suited to self-contained campervans and motorhomes only.
