Sanctuary Campsite
Sanctuary Campsite
Sanctuary Campsite is a small, basic campground situated beside the Minginui Stream within Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park.
It protects a striking remnant of podocarp forest and serves as a bird sanctuary, making it a rewarding destination for nature-focused visitors. The easy Sanctuary Track loops through the surrounding ancient forest.
The site offers three non-powered tent sites with water available from the stream; campfires are permitted outside of fire ban periods. Dogs are allowed by permit only.
Access is via Sanctuary Road, which branches off Minginui Road just before Minginui village. No booking is required — sites are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The campsite is managed jointly by the Department of Conservation and the NZ Deerstalkers' Association.
