No camping at Wanaka Riverside
11 July 2007 - 12:32pm
Cheers Ed for getting that info In The Climber.
Its great to see an 'official' word out on whats acceptable for camping in wanaka. My partner pointed out that by mentioning this a little while back was like shooting ourselves in the foot, meaning tht we can no longer camp there. True, but its not the only option and something had to be done.
So to all others out there who are a little pissed that riverside is now a no camping zone, please respect it and remember that the place was suffering big time, with respect to rubbish, fire risk and poo.
Please lead by example!
So, locals, what do you think may be the best camping options for visiting climbers...
DOC Albert town?
Glendhu bay camping?
Top ten?
Any other possibilties....?

WHile we are talking access and toilets - there is a proposal to get some toilets happening at the far end of Paynes Ford. We were thinking that since one of the elements for the bolt fund is to look after the area we might donate some money towards the project unless anyone objected strongly...
