DOC launches new campsite pass
“The campsite pass offers great value for frequent campsite users and encourages use of quieter campsites outside of peak season,” says DOC’s Heritage and Visitors Director, Steve Taylor.
The pass gives people access to about 94% of all DOC campsites around New Zealand (195 of 208 paid campsites), including bookable and non-bookable campsites, although there are some restrictions on when and how long the pass can be used. People can choose between passes for a week, month or year.
“Camping is a mainstay of Kiwi family holidays. This pass is designed to support our regular campers and help others take advantage of the hundreds of DOC campsites in picturesque natural settings across the country,” says Steve Taylor.
Summer prices for huts on the Milford Track are up $40 per night for international visitors to $110, while NZ residents have an $8 increase to $78. The Kepler and Routeburn are up $37 for internationals ($102) but only $3 for NZ residents ($68). The popularity of Rakiura over the last year has seen its hut prices bumped up $32 for internationals ($56 per night) and $13 for locals ($37). On the flip side, the Whanganui Journey will be a bit cheaper for all hikers while the Lake Waikaremoana Track and Paparoa Track are unchanged. DOC Heritage and Visitors Director, Steve Taylor, said there will be other pricing changes, including the extension of the use of seasonal pricing, and the introduction of weekend pricing for a small number of DOC’s most high-use huts.
