Archetype Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I spotted a pretty cool looking camp site on my way down to Feilding a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure of its exact location, or what it's called. I think it may have been a DOC site, and it was right beside the main highway, under a bridge perhaps. There was also a big viaduct looking thing in the background. Any ideas?

UTERUS Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Google maps the area? Doc lists all campsites on its website too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Sounds like vinegar hill. Don't go there over new years unless you want to experience huge gay/lesbian community From 2008 Nationals when we camped there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 You may mean the Makohine Viaduct. Don't think it's a campground though. Vinegar Hill is ok at New Years. Only the south end is the LGBT camp at that time. It's where we have Wagnats in Feb. No viaduct though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yeah, I think the Makohine Viaduct is it. You're right - no campground though. I thought I'd seen a spot to camp close by (not Vinegar Hill), but who knows. We're heading down to Wellington on Friday evening and I was thinking that we could have a brief stopover on our way down to break the trip up a bit.

JoKer Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Camping at Mangaweka is on par with the V-hill, bout 1/4 the area, on the Rangatiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
