Camping in the Waitomo district
16 Dec 2014, 11:11 AM
There are many beautiful places to camp throughout our district and Waitomo District Council wants to support visitors enjoying their holidays while camping.
Campers are asked to respect the local environment, other visitors and residents and remember to keep your vehicles secure when left unattended.
Unfortunately, freedom camping is having a negative impact on our clean, green environment as a result of litter and the inappropriate disposal of human waste and grey water.
We urge people planning a camping holiday to utilise campgrounds or holiday parks wherever possible. These sites provide a good standard of service and facilities like electricity, running water and flush toilets.
In the Waitomo district there are campgrounds/ holiday parks located in Te Kuiti, Marokopa, Awakino/ Mokau and Waitomo. For further details on local accommodation please contact the Te Kuiti Visitor Information Centre i-SITE on 878 8077.
If you do plan on camping please follow these guidelines:

Enjoy your summer camping holiday and be responsible with your waste wherever you camp.
