Billygoat Basin Campsite
Billygoat Basin Campsite
Billygoat Basin Campsite is a DOC backcountry campsite situated within Coromandel Forest Park in the Kauaeranga Valley.
It lies on the popular Billygoat Circuit and is reached by a one-hour walk from the road end, requiring a crossing of the unbridged Kauaeranga River. The Pinnacles are approximately two hours away. The campsite has eight tent sites, and bookings are required.
Fires are not permitted. The surrounding basin has a notable logging history. The first attempt to harvest timber here in the 1880s was abandoned because driving logs down Billygoat Falls proved too destructive.
Logging was eventually carried out successfully in the 1920s using a specially constructed incline to bypass the falls and a steam hauler. Campers have access to the hut water supply and toilets.
