Located just minutes from the city centre, we offer affordable camping in a bush-like setting with a variety of activities to suit your taste. Take a walk along the river, go mountain biking on the many trails in the surrounding hills, or take a dip in the nearby swimming hole.

For only $14.20 per person (non-powered), you can use our kitchen/toilets while camping under the stars amongst the beautiful native trees. Nature at its best.

The Maitai Valley Motor Camp also makes a great base for exploring Nelson City. Check out our list of suggested activities below. So come, relax, and enjoy all that the Maitai has to offer.

Unpowered Sites

Looking to power off and enjoy nature? Our unpowered sites are just for you. Pick a patch just about anywhere you like and you are set.

Powered Sites

Like to be in the great outdoors but still want to be able to plug in? Pull up to a power post and you are all set.

Please note that all vehicles and RCD cables need to have a current electrical Warrant of Fitness to plug into our power stations.

Cabins

Looking to put a roof over your head and a bunk to sleep in after a long day on the trail?

Our cabins come with just the basics: a set of bunks, a double-sized bed, and a fridge. Just a stone's throw away from the shower block and kitchen. Bring your own bedding.
