Five minutes from Balclutha, beside the fisherman's and boat paradise on the Clutha river, you will find this interesting camp. Starting life as a snooker hall
then becoming a lingerie factory, before taking up its new life as a camping
ground, it has quite a history. The sites are very large, most with power and
landscaped and planted generously with young trees and bright flowers. The
sparkling, tiled ablutions include an excellent disability suite, while the fully
equipped kitchen/dining is super clean and you can buy a pizza there as well. A
washing machine is available and dump point are available. Attractions in this
historic town are many, try out the new BMX track, take a mountain bike, walk,
bowl, play golf or learn about the “old days”. The local store is just around
the corner and a swimming pool is close by. Your hosts Ralph and Mel are in
charge of this camp. All power sites $30 for two people, $12.50 per person
for tents.
