Lake Taylor Campsite
Lake Taylor Campsite
Lake Taylor Campsite is a DOC Standard campsite situated beside Lake Taylor within Lake Sumner Forest Park in the Canterbury region. The site offers 15 non-powered tent sites and requires bookings year-round, with sites allocated or selected on arrival.
The surrounding area is highly scenic, with opportunities for walking and mountain biking, including a track to nearby hot pools. The campsite is notably exposed to the weather, so visitors are advised to check forecasts and pack appropriate clothing and gear.
Fires are not permitted at any time, and dogs must be kept on a leash. Access is via State Highway 7, turning off at Waikari and following Lake Sumner Road — the final stretch involves a rough gravel road.
