Geehi Flats campground
Wheelchair access: easy
This area is fully wheelchair accessible
Get the best of all the wild worlds at Geehi Flats campground. The site is immersed in spectacular montane forest on the banks of Swampy Plains River, which really allows you to connect to nature.
Take a walk, bike ride or saddle up the horse – there are many trails in the area, including the Bicentennial trail. There are also some historic stone huts in the vicinity, and the river is ideal for some swimming, tubing, or kayaking. Bring your artificial lures and flies, because fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout is a popular pastime here.
Even relaxing around the campground can be incredibly rewarding. Geehi is home to eastern grey kangaroos who graze nearby all day, as well as large numbers of wombats. Between June and September, you’ll even see babies with their mums grazing around the campground. As it gets close to dark, you might see shy red-necked and swamp wallabies, as well as possums.

There's plenty to do around Ngarigo. Fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout is very popular along the river. If you’re quiet, you might spy a shy platypus when you throw your line in, as they live in this part of the river.
