Rakaia Gorge Camp

It's a great spot, formed in 1997 essentially as a fishing and jet boater's camping ground to provide safe, comfortable camping facilities for members and the public. The camp has a beautiful view of the river. The grounds and facilities are immaculate, and it's a great spot to disconnect, enjoy the ever-changing river and magnificent night sky.

Our visitors usually get the best views looking directly over the bright blue water of the gorge.

What you can do nearby?

Rakaia Gorge WalkwayThis walkway offers several geological and historic features as it traverses the edge of the Rakaia Gorge.

Discovery Jet

Discovery Jet offers an adrenalin-pumping experience you'll never forget. You'll need to hang on tight as our driver skillfully weaves the jet boat through the intricate network of braided river channels, skimming along stony banks and through gushing opalescent blue waters rich with salmon and trout.www.discoveryjet.co.nz/

Rakaia Gorge Lookout

Just a short stroll up the road to the lookout or take the river walk straight across from the camp that meanders along the river then up to the lookout.
