Grey River Campsite sits within Mount Grey/Maukatere Conservation Area in Canterbury, accessible via Cramptons Bush Road through Ashley Forest. This Department of Conservation site offers free camping for caravans and tents, with water sourced from the stream. Campers should note that vehicle access requires crossing the Grey River on foot, as the ford has been washed out. The conservation area features remnant native forest and tussock grasslands within a privately owned commercial forest setting. Given the ford conditions and access arrangements, it's advisable to contact DOC's Rangiora office on (03) 313 0820 before travelling to confirm current site conditions and vehicle access options.
