Clifden Historic Bridge Conservation Campsite offers free camping beside Southland's longest wooden suspension bridge, spanning the Waiau River. The site provides basic facilities including toilets and accommodates caravans, with a grassy area suitable for tents. The historic bridge, constructed in the late 19th century, once served as a vital transport link in this remote region. The river provides opportunities for swimming, and the peaceful riverside location is conveniently positioned near the Clifden limestone caves and glow-worm grottos. Contact the local council to confirm current facilities and camping conditions.
