A small village holiday park near Canterbury's foothills, with garden camping and communal cooking and washing facilities.

A foothills village base

Mt Somers Holiday Park is in the village on Hoods Road, near the Inland Scenic Route. Its garden camping area is a practical base for exploring the wider foothills while returning to established amenities. It is not a track-side backcountry campground, so allow separately for travel to whichever walking area or high-country destination is on the day's itinerary.

Small park, useful distinctions

Powered and non-powered pitches cater for tents, caravans and campervans, alongside roofed accommodation for companions. Communal cooking equipment, hot showers and laundry help with a stay between outdoor days. Motorhome users should note that the advertised dump station is next door at the Domain, rather than on the campsite itself. Pet arrangements should be settled directly with the park.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Mt Somers Holiday Park before travelling.
