Lake Aniwhenua Campground sits beside Lake Āniwaniwa, a small man-made lake on the Rangitaiki River in the Bay of Plenty. Operated by Whakatāne District Council, this free campsite welcomes both tent campers and self-contained vehicles. Facilities include separate toilets and changing rooms for men and women, plus complimentary hot showers. While basic amenities are provided, visitors should bring their own drinking water or boil water before use. The reserve offers straightforward camping access on council-controlled land with essential conveniences for overnight stays along the Rangitaiki River corridor.
