Department of Conservation<br />
The Department of Conservation looks<br />
after conservation campsites, huts and<br />
cottages on a number of islands in the<br />
Hauraki Gulf.<br />
Campsites<br />
These campsites offer a “back to<br />
nature” experience, with basic<br />
facilities. All have toilets and a water<br />
supply, and most Great Barrier<br />
campsites have outdoor cold showers.<br />
For everything else you have to be self<br />
sufficient.<br />
Bookings<br />
Individual campers should book<br />
at all campsites except Home Bay,<br />
Motutapu, which operates on a first<br />
come first served basis. Bookings are<br />
essential at Great Barrier campsites<br />
over the Christmas-New Year period.<br />
