Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground

Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground sits at the base of the Rakaia Gorge off the Inland Scenic Route in Canterbury. The site accommodates caravans and tents, with drinking water, showers and toilets provided. Operating seasonally, it serves as a convenient base for visitors heading to Mt Hutt Ski Area during winter or exploring the gorge's walks, waterfalls and scenic lookouts year-round. Summer rates apply from October through April, with a reduced winter operation from May using fewer sites and self-service check-in. The campground provides straightforward facilities in a tranquil alpine setting for both casual campers and outdoor enthusiasts.
