About the Department

of Conservation (DOC)

campsites

DOC also provides camping locations and charges a fee based

on the category of campsite. DOC has its own ‘freedom camping’

sites which are in addition to the DOC campgrounds and are at

specic locations only. Read more information on DOC’s freedom

camping sites on page 9.

If you are staying at a scenic, standard, or basic DOC campsite (all

sites listed on the following pages are scenic) you need to be well

prepared with food, water and all your own gear.

In areas such as the north Coromandel there are few, if any, shops

for supplies.

We suggest you stop in at one of our great camping supply shops

in settlements like Thames, Coromandel Town, Whitianga,

Whangamata, Pauanui and Tairua where our local store operators

are very knowledgeable and will help you to be well-prepared.

Fees for DOC campsites range from $6—$15 per adult and $3—$5

per child payable at the Kauaeranga Visitor Centre for Kaureanga

campsites, to a camp manager at other sites or via an honesty box

system. Kauaeranga Visitor Centre Ph 64 7 867 9080.

What is freedom camping? Freedom

camping means to camp in a public place

other than a camping ground either in a

vehicle, caravan, campervan or tent.

If you intend to freedom camp, our advice is: Assume nothing.

Our local Community Boards have established ‘Freedom

Camping’ sites on selected Council land in Thames, Tairua,

Mercury Bay and Whangamata.

Important! Only self-contained vehicles that can show they

comply with NZS 5465:2001 are permitted to use the designated

freedom camping sites. Ask your rental company if your

motorhome is certied.

You can get ned $200 for freedom camping illegally. Always read

the signs. If you are unsure, check at one of our local information

centres or visit www.tcdc.govt.nz/camping.

Be rewise –

observe re

bans indicated on

signage and at

www.tcdc.govt.nz .
