DOC campsites 3: Central NI, game
Rhonda Marshall
If you have been following our 2024 journey of New Zealand’s DOC campsites through the previous issues, you will notice something quite different with our DOC campsites this time.
Firstly, the area of Mid-central North Island has such a vast number of campsites I have had to break it down into a subset of 25 sites for this issue. Secondly, many of these campsites are so remote you can only access them via boat, mountain bike or by foot. If you are the sort of campers who like to get away from everyone else, then these might be just the places you might consider visiting this summer. There are still 8 sites in this list that are accessible by camper/caravan so hopefully something to suit everyone. Enjoy!
