Pelorus Bridge Campground
Pelorus Bridge Campground
Pelorus Bridge Campground sits on the banks of the Te Hoiere/Pelorus River within Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve, roughly 54 km from Nelson and 60 km from Blenheim on State Highway 6.
Old-growth kahikatea, beech, and rimu trees tower over grassed camping areas, creating a shaded, scenic setting. The campground is now operated by Ngāti Kuia, the iwi whose tīpuna have deep historical ties to this stretch of the river.
Both powered and non-powered sites are available, accommodating tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Facilities include hot showers, a communal kitchen, and a large deck overlooking the river.
Popular activities include swimming in the Pelorus River, fishing, kayaking, and walking the several short tracks that begin at the reserve, including the Tawa Walk, Circle Walk, and Dalton's Track, which connects to Te Araroa.
A café is located on site near the camp office.
