About Wentworth Valley Camping Ground
Wentworth Valley Camping Ground is a privately managed, remote-style campground set in native bush alongside the Wentworth River. It offers a range of unpowered and powered sites, with amenities including hot showers and access to swimming holes and local walking tracks. Bookings are required during peak summer and holiday periods.
Plan your escape to our secluded riverside haven. The campground is located approximately 15 minutes drive from Whangamata township, up the scenic Wentworth Valley Road. The final section of road is unsealed; we recommend a confident driver and standard vehicle. Please bring all essential supplies, including food and insect repellent, as we are a remote retreat. Check-in details and gate access codes are provided upon confirmed booking.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to preserving a genuine, off-grid atmosphere. We are a family-run operation dedicated to low-impact camping, offering spacious, private sites nestled in mature native bush. Unlike larger commercial parks, we provide a peaceful, back-to-nature experience where the sound of the river is your constant companion, perfect for stargazing, birdwatching, and digital detox.
