Council is responsible for registering Camping Grounds throughout the Clutha
District. These rounds provide accommodation for mainly tourists, but
occasionally for longer staying people. There are some sixteen registered
Camping Grounds within our district.
The majority of grounds
will provide for tents, touring vans as well as cabins for people touring in
cars.
Communal facilities in
the form of kitchens, toilets, bathrooms and laundries are required although in
some cases [notably smaller sites] the Council considers it reasonable to issue
relaxations where the size of the site makes it uneconomical to provide all of
these facilities. Under such circumstances there are usually alternative
facilities available, e.g. a nearby restaurant or cafe is acceptable where there
is no on site kitchen.
An explanatory leaflet
is available which describes the standards that are usually required, together
with a further pamphlet which describes the required fire precautions.

Freedom Camping
The Council has also
adopted a Freedom Camping Policy which allows vehicles which have adequate on
board facilities to enable them to stay for up to three nights on Council owned
land without needing to use external facilities. It does not permit tents or
vehicles without facilities to camp on Council land.
