CAMPING GROUNDS

 
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.
