The camping ground is nestled between the Rangitikei River and bush areas. The river is safe for swimming but has a strong current in places, it is also ideal for rafting. The annual "kamp camp" runs from about Christmas until the first few days in january, and swells to over 1,000 people on New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve party features a live DJ, lights, a stage show - featuring live performances and drag shows, as well as a camping ground awards ceremony. The preceding nights usually also feature entertainment. A "queen" is elected who runs the next year's camp - including the entertainment and liaising with local businesses. The camp fees operate on an honesty box system of $5 per person per night, which contributes to the entertainment and up keep of the camp.
