Little Waipa Reserve is a grass campsite sitting on the elevated banks of Lake Kārapiro in the South Waikato region, roughly 45 minutes south of Hamilton.

The site offers sweeping views over the lake and surrounding countryside, and sits along the Waikato River Trails (Karapiro Section), making it a handy stop for cyclists as well as families.

Fishing, boating, and camping are popular activities here, and a boat ramp is accessible at the end of the reserve. A camping permit is required for tent campers and non-self-contained vehicles.

Self-contained campervans and caravans may stay the first two nights without charge before a permit is needed. Facilities on site include a toilet block, BBQ area, and boat ramp access.
