Tilgjengelig fra begge retninger med 2wd hiace van. Online bestilling tilbyr 3 forskjellige campingområder, men det er uklart hvor de er. Den øvre er rundt den gamle bygningen på ganske lumpy bakken. Midten er et stort flatt område ved siden av sporet. Det nedre området er ved siden av elven kanal, men den faktiske elven er over en muddy grus så en lang spasertur over shingle, det har også flere sandfly enn de andre områdene. Husk å bestille online, og rangers sjekke.

Lovely backcountry DOC campsite. Very clean toilets when we visited, friendly rangers and lots of space to choose from. Nearby river offers swimming and trout fishing. The easy way from Hanmer is via Jack’s Pass; Jollies Pass is a steep, non-maintained road. You can book online via DOC booking system (search ‘Acheron’); good phone signal on site.

Just as info. If you are driving here from Hanmer Springs there is a hard way and an easy way. Jollies pass (which Google Maps will choose because most direct) is quite a tricky track and really for 4WDs. Jacks Pass aka the Clarence Valley Rd is a very easy and well maintained gravel road. Is a few more kms but super easy.

Nydelig og naturskjønn doc campingplass. 10$ nå. Stedet er stort. 2 store marker og også plass rundt overnattingsstedet. Stille sted. Bare oss og 2 andre campere. Det er en doc ranger på bakken.

Kjøringen gjennom Jollies Pass var umulig for oss å håndtere i vår Toyota. måtte snu og finne en annen leirplass. Bare kjør gjennom Jollies Pass hvis du har en lastebil

Vi fulgte dessverre Google Maps og endte opp med å kjøre fra Hanmer Springs over Jollies Pass i vår Mitsubishi Canter campervan. Da vi endelig nådde krysset med Acheron Road var det et tegn som sa at veien ikke har vedlikehold og er bare egnet for 4WD kjøretøy. God gammel Mitsi, hun håndterte den VELDIG grove veien godt. Campingplassen? Elsket det. Vi var de eneste der. Omgitt av fantastisk fjellandskap. Vennlig og hjelpsom ranger bor i en nærliggende hytte på den andre siden av veien.

Simple DOC $8pp campsite, accessible from Hanmer Springs via Clearance road suitable for all vehicles (the gps suggested Jolly's road which is 4x4 and we are not). Lots of Sandflies compared to Tennyson. The Road continues on for a long way offering another camping option that Campermate does not show. It looks like a long drive, and something we would have explored had it not been for the heavey rains of Cyclone Gita... The area has some interesting historical land marks and buildings about traveling in the area from the 1800s.

We got here from Blenheim in 6 hours for 175km with a 6.5 metre motorhome. A very scenic and quiet route but don't do it when you are an inexperienced or nervous driver. Magic campsite with lovely river swim and a joking fun DOC ranger to check you out.

Only suitable for 4WD!!! I didn't see the sign and went half way, the road is really bad!

We were the only ones here. Sandflies plus a lot of friendly bees, not much scenery really but quiet! The drive thru Jolies Pass from Hanmer Springs is steep and there's two stream crossings. There's a gate just before the campground that says the road is closed from 7pm to 7am, but we arrived at midnight so opened it anyways.
