STAY & PLAY
Make your trip easy & stay local before, during & after your Timber Trail trip. Epic has a great relationship with local B&B's, farmstays, campsites, and motels. We recommend all of the accommodation options we have linked below!
On the Timber Trail
BENNETT RD CAMPGROUND - ONGARUE
A basic free campground based next to Epic's base in Ongarue. The campground has a small shelter with water kindly donated by the Te Araroa Trust and new toilets donated by Friends of the Timber Trail. Plenty of grassy area for setting up tents or park your campervan in the carpark.
Before/After your Timber Trail Trip
Situated 2kms down a private driveway off SH4, only 5min from Epic's base in Ongarue. Wairere Cottage sits peacefully on a working sheep & beef farm. Makes an ideal base to kick off your Epic Timber Trail adventure or break up that trip home after! Great option for groups sleeping up to 8 people.
