Ashley Rakahuri Gorge Holiday Park

Ashley Gorge’s campground spot represents the quintessential holiday destination for many growing up in Christchurch. It’s been a stalwart for summertime sojourns, long weekends with the grandparents, and BBQs with extended families – hordes of happy children have been raised on getaways in this crevasse of the Canterbury Plains. “You’re just 45 minutes from Christchurch, surrounded by native bush and birdsong, and where that cold easterly wind won’t find you. There’s a unique microclimate here, and our night skies are perfect for stargazing. The swimming river is clean and clear and always fun to explore.” The campground caters to both families and couples while creating a homely, friendly atmosphere within the natural surroundings. One of the many walks nearby leads to a waterfall. Guests can pick their own salads from the camp garden. Accommodation options include a camping Pod, Glamping tent, group accommodation, cabins & sites.
