Passes
The DOC Campsite Pass can be used at this campsite.
Campsite Pass bookings must be booked online before occupying a site. If you do not book, bookings may be made by campground staff (if present) and will incur a $10 service charge. Sites may not be available if you do not book.
Bookings
Bookings are open for stays up to 30 June 2025.
All bookings are first-come first-served. We do not have waiting lists for bookings for future seasons or facilities that are already booked-out.
Bookings are required all year. You must book a site before you visit.
Book Otto/MacDonalds Campsite online.
Book before you arrive as mobile phone coverage at the campsite is limited.
Booking online is preferred, as there is a $10 surcharge to any booking made by staff on your behalf. If you do need this service, then contact the Westland Tai Poutini National Park Visitor Centre. DOC staff will be making inspections to confirm that campers have booked and paid for their site.
Your booking will be for a site, which will be allocated or selected on arrival.
