Glenfalls Campsite
Glenfalls Campsite
Glenfalls is a free DOC conservation campsite situated alongside the Mōhaka River in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island.
It lies approximately one hour's drive from both Napier and Taupō via SH 5 (Napier–Taupō Road), with access along Waitara Road for 8. 1 km. Note that the roadside reserve sign is missing; the entry is currently marked by two green signposts.
The campsite is a basic, riverside area with no fires permitted at any time. It sits in a flood-prone location, and campers should monitor river levels during heavy rain and evacuate if conditions deteriorate.
The site sustained damage during Cyclone Gabrielle, so checking the DOC website for current conditions before visiting is advisable.
The river section below the campsite offers Class II whitewater, making Glenfalls a practical base for paddlers exploring the Mōhaka.
