Te Moana Gorge Camp

Te Moana Gorge Camp is one of three free campsites managed by the Timaru District Council in Te Moana Gorge, Canterbury, all situated within 2 km of each other along the Hae Hae Te Moana River.

The sites suit both self-contained and non-self-contained campers, with a maximum stay of three nights.

The surrounding bush is remnant podocarp forest — once widespread across the Canterbury foothills — featuring rimu, kahikatea, mataī, miro, and tōtara, along with a dense understorey of shrubs, ferns, and tree-ferns.

Further up the gorge, a waterfall and walking tracks reward those who explore beyond camp. Toilets are available on site, and no booking is required; sites are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
