Arohena Campsite

Arohena Campsite is a Department of Conservation (DOC) campground situated on the shores of Lake Arapuni in the Waikato region, reached via a sharp descent down a metal road off Landing Road.

The site offers around 50 unpowered sites in a spacious, picturesque setting beside the lake, with covered dishwashing sinks, water taps, and stainless steel flush toilets on site.

The campground is a popular base for water-based activities on Lake Arapuni, including swimming, water skiing, and fishing. The lake is well regarded for trolling brown and rainbow trout, and shore fishing for rudd is also possible directly from the camp.

A pumice beach allows boats to be launched and landed, and the adjacent Hamilton Anglers Club lodge has a formal boat ramp bookable separately. Advance bookings are required through the DOC website, with no walk-in spaces held.

Same-day online bookings are available until 8 pm if spaces remain.
