Mangapapa Campsite

Mangapapa Campsite is a Department of Conservation site in Whanganui National Park, accessible only by boat along the Whanganui River. Positioned on the Whanganui Journey, a popular multi-day canoeing and kayaking route, the campsite provides basic facilities including toilets, water from a tap, picnic tables and around ten tent sites. The boat-in access means paddlers and river travellers can stop overnight in a remote bush setting. This campsite suits those undertaking the Great Walk and seeking straightforward amenities in a natural riverside environment.
