Whilst we couldn’t stay at Peel Forest itself (closed til 16 Oct 26), we used Clarkes Flat next door. Only ones there. It’s brilliant. Lovely and quiet. Excellent wooded and river walks in the area. Great toilet facility with flushing water and paper. A nice little shelter that has a chimney. Very much worthwhile popping in after a visit to the Big Tree / Geraldine!
An amazing DOC campsite! Numerous grassy sites, some completely open, others more secluded with trees. Very quiet. Large common room with a hob, microwave, fridge, recycling bins, and Wi-Fi. Unlimited hot showers and toilets. A washing machine ($3), a dryer, and even a clothesline. Everything is super clean. Cell phone signal is practically nonexistent. If you have the DOC Pass, it is not usable during a certain period between December and February.
This campsite is the Ritz equivalent of any DOC site we’ve been to across both islands. I nearly cried when I saw free WiFi and hot showers.
Excellent! One of top 5 DOC camps with everything and surrounded by beautiful nature and walks right from your van. Must stay for pass holders
Closed at this time of year. Check the DOC website before you go
Wi-Fi, kitchen equipped with stovetop, kettle, sinks and dining table; unlimited hot showers, clean toilets. For laundry: currently there is only one washing machine ($3/wash) and no dryer, and unfortunately the clothesline is in the shade almost all day. The plots should be mowed because your feet will always be wet with the tall grass and therefore also a lot of insects. On the map the toilets on the left are closed, only on the right.
Great campsite. Amenities are clean and operational. Kitchen was great for cooking. Wifi in the building for if you need it. Around the campsite though signal is weak. Quiet with hikes around the area. 10/10 and would stay here again.
Lovely campground, spacious sites and clean facilities with hot showers and electric stoves. Tap water needs to be boiled before using. Kitchen and bathroom provide lots of power plugs for charging, which we haven't seen to often! The only spot I had reception in was next to the outside bench by the kitchen (One). Short and long walks around the area. DOC pass is included (except for busy season). Can recommend :)
Closed - ? For winter
Fantastic campsite, very well kept grounds, hot showers included not timed, full kitchen with hobs and toaster and sinks with a hot water urn also, kitchen had a table to sit next to a fire too
