DOC Senior Ranger Moira Lee says the campgrounds and walkways are perfect for a long weekend out in nature.

“We’ve got some beautiful spots on our doorstep waiting to be explored,” says Moira. “Te Kuri Walkway in Gisborne, Cooks Cove Walkway in Tolaga Bay, and the DOC campground in Anaura Bay are all open for visitors.

“DOC is grateful to our regular patrons at Anaura Bay, who let us know if anything is amiss. We’re also appreciative of our camp volunteers who help every summer by providing manaakitanga (hospitality) to visitors, letting them understand what’s expected so everyone can have a great experience.

“A huge thank you goes to our rangers who have been working hard after a wet winter to get things fixed and maintained, especially with many sites still recovering from the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle.

 “It’s been an awesome effort, but it’s paid off and we’re ready to rock!”

To get the most out of your great outdoor experience, please make sure to:

• Take home anything you bring in
• Be respectful of others sharing the space with you
• Keep camping self-contained (facilities are available for waste disposal)
• Where allowed, ensure your furry whanau (dogs) are on a lead and in control around others
• Check in with someone to make sure you get home safe
