Little River Campground

Call Directions Website

Little River Campground Classic kiwi accommodation in native bush beside the Okuti River on the way to Akaroa. Little River Campground, formerly Birdlands, has something for everyone.

Big enough to lose yourself in the lush wilderness, but small enough for intimate gatherings. Ideal for relaxed weekends away or weddings, retreats, private parties and work social functions with the added advantage of affordable onsite accommodation. Plan a romantic getaway in one of our cute rustic cabins or have a chilled out camping holiday with your family. We like camping as it use to be — kids playing in the river or enjoying the fun, spills and adventures down the mudslide or on the trampoline while you sit back and relax knowing they are safe and enjoying themselves. We are not part of a chain of holiday parks, preferring the independence for a relaxed family atmosphere. The perfect base for exploring Banks Peninsula. Please note our facilities are very basic with waterless loos, but we do have hot showers. BOOK ONLINE NOW! Visit: http://bookings.bookitsecure.com/pub/supplier.aspx?b=LITTL2

Little River Campground is owned and run by Megan and Marcus who took over the campground in late 2009 after the former bird sanctuary, Birdlands, closed down. Little River Campground is home to stands of centuries old native tress, such as Kahikatea, Matai and Totara. Second growth hardwood species include Kanuka, Manuka, Manatu Kowhai, Kotukutuku, Tarata, Kawakawa, Mahoe and Puahou. We are avid conservationists and remain committed to ensuring the native flora and fauna within our little paradise in the Banks Peninsula remains forever protected.
