Escape the ordinary

Experience an extraordinary classic Kiwi campground immersed in fun and nature
Think rustic accommodation in a tranquil native bird sanctuary

Your family and dog friendly campground

We offer a back-to-basics campground that is a blast from the past. A classic Kiwi camping experience complete with rustic facilities and waterless long-drop eco toilets. It’s a unique camping experience the kids and nature lovers love! We are located at the gateway to Banks Peninsula and on the way to Akaroa – just 45 minutes from Christchurch.

We pride ourselves on our environmental standards that help protect 5 hectares of native bush. We do this by adopting a zero waste policy, composting kitchen scraps, offering timed showers and having composting eco toilets.

We’re Banks Peninsula’s only dog-friendly campground! Well behaved dogs on leads at all times are welcome.

What we offer

Set in the secluded Okuti Valley only 45 minutes from central Christchurch. A classic Kiwi campground, like they use to be.

We are one of Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust covenants. Your camp fees help us continue to protect our local habitat to protect native tree and bird species.

We pride ourselves on being an authentic ol'skool rustic camp ground that is back-to-basic but accept it isn't for everyone. Take time understanding what we have to offer to decide whether it is ‘your cup of tea’ before booking with us.
