The Mangawhero DOC Campsite is set in native bush just off the Ohakune Mountain Rd, on the way to the Ruapehu ski fields.

 

It's a small campsite, with parking arranged in a circle, and a long-drop toilet, should it be needed.

 

There is a limited supply of water available. However, it's not suitable for refilling your water tank as it should be boiled before drinking.

 

This is a good base camp for skiing enthusiasts, only a short drive from Ohakune, and a 20 minute drive up to the Turoa ski field.

 

We were able to drive up there in our front-wheel drive motorhome, but there was no snow on the road, and it was a good sealed surface all the way. You'd want to be sure the the conditions were ok before doing the same, as there is only limited room for turning around in a large van.
