Mighty River Domain camping

Mighty River Domain sits on the banks of Lake Kārapiro, about six kilometres south of Cambridge, within an 18-hectare reserve managed by Waipa District Council.

The campground is open year-round and accommodates tents, caravans, campervans, and motorhomes across 60 powered and 80 non-powered sites, which can be booked individually or in blocks.

There is no restriction on the number of nights for contained or conventional camping here. The domain doubles as one of New Zealand's premier event venues, regularly hosting national and international sporting competitions on the lake.

Facilities include showers, toilets, and laundry services, and an onsite café serves meals and snacks. Activities such as hiking, fishing, kayaking, and swimming are accessible directly from the site. Access is via 601 Maungatautari Road, Maungatautari.
