Tolson River hunters' campsite | Southern Circuit, Rakiura National Park

A not very often used campsite that is adjacent to the Tolson River. Accessible by water taxi but otherwise fairly remote.

Not much there in the way of amenities, but it is dry, and there is sufficient space for a few tents.
