Little River Campground offers a classic back-to-basics camping experience in the peaceful Okuti Valley, around 45 minutes from Christchurch and positioned as the gateway to Banks Peninsula. Set within native bush functioning as a bird sanctuary, this family and dog-friendly site provides powered and unpowered sites for campervans, caravans and tents, plus rustic cabins. Facilities include eco composting toilets and coin-operated hot showers. The campground operates seasonally, reopening 1 October each year, and maintains a relaxed, old-school Kiwi camping atmosphere suitable for those seeking affordable, nature-based accommodation.
