Are there camping facilities along the Whanganui River?

Yes, camping facilities are available along the Whanganui River for those undertaking the journey. The Department of Conservation manages 2 DOC huts and 11 campsites spaced out along the journey, which must be booked in advance during the Great Walks season. Campsites and huts are provided with basic amenities such as toilets and water supply. If you seek a little more comfort, the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge across the river from Tieke Kāinga offers private rooms and meals and runs a campsite with hot showers a hundred metres upstream from the lodge.
