Te Pakau (Eight Acre) Campsite
Te Pakau (Eight Acre) Campsite is a basic DOC campsite set in the Te Urewera region of New Zealand's North Island, situated near the Waimana River. Once a dairy farm, the site now offers a peaceful bush retreat with up to 60 unpowered tent sites.
Access is via gravel road through the Matahi Valley, approximately 27 km from State Highway 2 near Waimana. Facilities are minimal, as expected of a DOC basic campsite — toilets are provided, but campers must be fully self-sufficient.
Water may be available from an untreated source and should be boiled before drinking. Pets are not permitted.
Numerous walking tracks lead into the surrounding old-growth forest, making the campsite a practical base for exploring Te Urewera's spectacular landscapes.
