About this campsite

Basic DOC campsite in Ruahine Forest Park with tent and caravan sites, non-flush toilet, stream water and BBQ. Free camping for trampers and self-sufficient visitors.

Kumeti campsite is a basic Department of Conservation site in Ruahine Forest Park, serving as a starting point for tramping tracks in the eastern ranges. The campground accommodates caravans and tents across approximately five unpowered sites, with facilities limited to a non-flush toilet, stream water and a woodfire barbecue. This free campsite suits self-sufficient campers and trampers heading to Kiritaki Hut or the Opawe Road crossing. Given the remote forest park location and basic amenities, visitors should come prepared with drinking water or purification methods and all necessary camping gear.
