information on responsible camping in and around

Dunedin welcomes visitors
Where can I camp?
Whether you are travelling by car, campervan or cycle, we welcome
you and hope you enjoy your visit and our unspoilt natural setting.
While you are here, please help us protect our environment and
cultural heritage from damage.
Licensed camping grounds provide full service facilities for campers.
Please use the amenities provided, wherever you camp.
Please do not drive into Baldwin Street as there is no turning and
no exit.
Dunedin care code
Help us treasure and protect Dunedin’s beautiful spaces and places.
• Keep vehicles to formed public tracks and parking areas. Keep
clear of road ends with private gateways/thoroughfares as
private landowners need access to their properties at all times.
• Use designated areas for rest stops or camping.
• Use public toilets or on-board facilities, and dumpstations to
empty campervan toilets and wastewater.
• Take all rubbish with you when you leave.
• Fires are prohibited unless in supplied BBQ areas and fireplaces.
Respect our cultural heritage. Dunedin City has a spiritual and
historical significance for many, including mana whenua, local Māori.
Dunedin City Council land is for the benefit of all residents.
Reserves are taonga and treasured by the community. Be
considerate to other users.
Please act responsibly on walking tracks that cross private property
with owners goodwill, as not all access tracks are on public land.
Treat all New Zealand’s wildlife and plants with care. Many are
unique and often rare.
Wildlife
Seals and sea lions : Stay
at least 10 metres away and
don’t come between them
and the water. They aren’t
afraid of you and they can
move quickly over short
distances.
Penguins :
• Hide so they can’t see you.
• Whisper and move slowly.
• Keep to tracks and out of their path.
• Never approach a nest. • Keep dogs well away from penguin areas.
• Turn off your camera flash.
An overnight stay is from one hour before dusk and one hour
after dawn. If there is no room at the sites, campers must stay at a
licensed campground.
You may not camp at Taiaroa Head/Pukekura (including Pilots
Beach) or in any of Dunedin’s Cemeteries. You may be fined for
illegal camping.
Self-contained campervans (compliant with NZS5465:2001)
These can stay on public land and in DCC car parks for up to two
consecutive nights at one site, as long as:
• There are no more than three campervans within a 50m radius
• They are legally parked (no parking on grass)
