Fires

• No open fires permitted in the camp or in the reserve.
• Use only gas or liquid fuelled cookers.
• DOC Northland enforces the 3-metre rule between groups/family/parties (i.e. groups, not individual tents) to reduce possible fire spread.
• Wind barriers/surrounds are acceptable within a group but should not be used to link groups as the risk of fire spread is too great.
• Fireworks and sky lanterns are absolutely banned.

Dish washing

• Do not wash your dishes at the water points (taps).
• Dispose of food scraps with your other rubbish.
• Wash dishes at your camp and dispose of water only in the bush.

Motors

• No chainsaws, generators or compressors are allowed in the reserve.

Noise

• Be considerate of other campsite users.
• Keep noise levels down especially between 10 pm and 7 am.

Rubbish

• All times of year, 'Take in – Take Out' rubbish policy is in place.

Conduct

• Conduct of any person(s), which is considered to be unacceptable, e.g. nudity, violence, excessive noise, etc. will result with the immediate removal of those concerned.

Water

• Conserve water.
• To avoid the risk of infection, ensure that all drinking water is treated prior to drinking.

Animals

• No dogs or other domestic animals are permitted in the camp or on the reserve except registered guide dogs. This includes cats and caged birds.

Vegetation

• All vegetation within the reserve is protected.
• Do not dump rubbish around camp vegetation as scraps attract vermin.
