Boyle Campsite
Boyle Campsite sits alongside the Boyle River within Lake Sumner Forest Park in Canterbury, managed by the Department of Conservation.
It serves as a convenient overnight stop for walkers on the St James Walkway and the Te Araroa Trail, and also makes a good base for exploring the surrounding beech forests and river environment.
The campsite has separate areas for vehicles and campervans, plus a fenced enclosure with tent-only access. Open fires are not permitted at any time.
The nearby Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre offers a tramping drop-off service, available by advance booking.
