Campers should monitor weather forecasts. Keep your vehicle off the riverbed, there is a risk of getting stuck.** Keep New Zealand clean. Always use the toilet in your vehicle or a public toilet. You may stay for no more than five nights in any calendar month but limited to three consecutive nights at any single location.

Please take care and stick to the road as being so remote this the only option/company available.
