Glencoe Campsite

Glencoe Campsite is a DOC-managed conservation campground situated on the North Branch of the Waianakarua River, about 2 km west of the small settlement of Herbert in Coastal Otago, South Island.

Reached via a gravel road off State Highway 1, the site offers 20 non-powered tent sites sheltered within beech and podocarp forest. Fires are not permitted, and dogs are allowed on a leash only.

The campground sits directly above the clear-watered Waianakarua North River, with a bush track leading down to the riverbank. Walking and tramping opportunities are accessible from the site. Basic facilities include long-drop toilets and water.

Adjacent to the campground is the Waianakarua Nohoanga, a seasonal site reserved for Ngāi Tahu whānui for traditional mahinga kai (food gathering), established under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998.
