Camping on a farm beside the Waianakarua River near Herbert, with lodge-based communal facilities between Oamaru and Moeraki.

River farm rather than beach camp

Riverside Haven sits on a farm bordered by the Waianakarua River near Herbert. Although it is useful for exploring the coast between Oamaru and Moeraki, the campsite setting is river and farmland rather than beach frontage. Its lodge and camping areas give a mixed group the option of different accommodation styles within the same property.

Use the lodge facilities

Campers can use shared facilities associated with the lodge, including the kitchen, lounge and dining spaces as well as showers and laundry. That is useful for tent travellers wanting an indoor place to cook or sit during unsettled weather. Dogs are subject to lead and building restrictions, so a pet-friendly camping arrangement should not be interpreted as access to the lodge interiors.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Riverside Haven Lodge and Holiday Park before travelling.
