Winchester Motor Camp

Winchester Motor Camp is a long-established campground — operating since 1911 — situated on the edge of the small South Canterbury town of Winchester, along State Highway 1 (the Temuka-Orari Highway).

It offers a large, open field with plenty of room for campervans, motorhomes, and tents, and is conveniently positioned between the local school and showgrounds.

The camp provides basic but well-maintained facilities including a kitchen, laundry, clean amenities blocks, and a small playground. A school swimming pool next door is accessible in summer, and a tennis court is available nearby for a small fee.

The campground is well placed for exploring the surrounding region, with Temuka, Geraldine, Caroline Bay, and Timaru all within easy reach.
