Pelorus Bridge Campground
Pelorus Bridge Campground
Pelorus Bridge Campground is a Department of Conservation campsite set within the Pelorus Scenic Reserve alongside the clear, emerald waters of Te Hoiere / Pelorus River, on State Highway 6 roughly midway between Nelson and Blenheim.
The campground offers around 40 non-powered sites and 14 powered sites spread across grassy flats and spots edging the river, surrounded by remnant native bush including impressive totara forest.
Facilities include toilets, hot showers, and picnic areas, with direct river access for swimming. The reserve itself provides easy walking tracks through forest glades as well as more challenging routes leading to a waterfall and rock pool or a ridgeline peak.
The campground is a popular stop for Te Araroa Trail walkers and campervans alike. Overnight fees apply per person; the DOC Campsite Pass is accepted outside the peak summer period. Arrive early on summer weekends to secure a flat, well-positioned site.
