About

Kaitangata Riverside Motor Park, on South Island, sits at 5 Clyde Terrace in Kaitangata, a small town in the south of the island. First-time visitors find a campsite with a 4.8 out of 5 average from 96 reviews. The park's website is at http://www.kaitangatamotorcamp.com/.

Dunedin is the nearest of the main centres, and Christchurch, Queenstown, Wanaka and Te Anau lie further along the island's roads. Kaitangata itself is inland from the coast, south of the route that links Dunedin with the rest of the South Island. Nelson, Blenheim and Kaikoura sit further north for those travelling the length of the island.

Summer temperatures stay mild and snow seldom settles at low altitude during the colder months, so the park suits year-round stays. The Southern Alps run down the South Island, shaping the weather and the scenery along many of its routes.

Guests arriving from Dunedin or the southern lakes will find the town quiet and the park easy to settle into. The 96 reviews and 4.8 out of 5 average point to consistently positive stays.
