Kaitoke Regional Park

Amazing weekend and stunning place to meet up with friends, sure will be back again

Fires by the river, swimming in the river, great facilities, pet friendly and so much more. Great place to stay, would be even better if there were showers available. Upper Hutt can get very cold at night, don't forget extra layers and plenty of blankets!

Great place, very quiet most of the time (road noise sometimes)Found the payment system doesnt recognise when 6 powered spots have been paid for in a 24hr period, but the Ranger will give a refund of the difference.$17/night powered site/adult$8/night unpowered site/adultChildren have a charge too (cant remember)Powered sites are great, toilet nearby, bbq area with power points nearby, 6 gravel spots with a bbq table each, box with 2 power point and 2 taps between the spotsUnpowered sites are numerous, sorted into Areas, we got 28 campervans (including a medium sized Bus) parked up and we still had room at area 13. there is a large sheltered bbq area with 2 electric hotplates and multiple hotpoints and the toilet block on the rear across from area 13 (part of area 14)Lots of tracks and walks, some into serious tfamping levels, others a nice day walk, and as a LOTR fan visiting the Rivendell structure was very cool.Great night skies despite being close to a city, still has some light pollution to the south, but directly up was very clear, but you will need lens heaters as it gets very damp in the evenings, one night was quite misty.Mind the one way road system is not always followed, contractor vehicles and trucks were frequently travelling against the one way tracks.

It was raining so there weren't many people and it was the right choice.The forest nearby was also very nice.The people who live nearby are lucky!

6x powered site (Tent & RV accesible) near rangers office with each powered site having its own water tap. Clean facilities. Take your own toilet paper as during peak times it often runs out. Closest dairy is a 7min drive if you've forgotten something like the kids tomato sauce. We stayed at powered site and had to take our car down to the river as it was a fair bit to walk and kids weren't that keen to walk that far for a swim. Paying kiosk accepts visa and cc near the rangers office. Huge campsite.

Very spacious and accessible park. Great for camping and outings. We were able to enjoy our lunch in one of the dining areas as well the toilet is nice and clean.Looking forward in staying overnight there while camping.

A great spot to stay for a few days. Has tolits, BBQs, and cold running water but no showers. Heaps of space and perfect if you want to take your dog.

Very nice park, especially if you are a Lord of the Rings fan.

Busy when I was there (school hols)Facilities are very cushy. Loads of space but not very private. One or two tucked-away spots, recommend arrive early to nab.Good for introductory camping or families with kids of all ages. I would have loved to hang about thete as a teenager! Swimming holes are cool and nice walks.

A wonderful place to visit, informative staff and amazing views. Wonderful conservation work and just outside of the city
