Jacobs Bay Campsite
Jacobs Bay Campsite
Jacobs Bay Campsite is a Department of Conservation (DOC) paid campsite situated on the foreshore of inner Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere, within the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand's Marlborough region.
Access is by boat only — there is no jetty, so visitors must land via the beach. The site includes a picnic area, toilets, and fresh water. Fires are not permitted at any time. The DOC Campsite Pass is accepted here, and bookings are available through DOC.
Note that the Jacobs Bay–Fairy Bay Track is currently closed due to slip damage. The bay offers a reasonable anchorage in westerly winds but is exposed to southwesterlies and wash from passing vessels.
