Black Rock Campsite

Black Rock Campsite is a DOC backcountry campsite situated on a ridgeline along the Queen Charlotte Track in the Marlborough Sounds, accessible only on foot or by mountain bike.

Its elevated position delivers a standout view directly across to Picton, where you can watch the Interislander ferries come and go through the sound.

The site is fairly exposed in poor weather but accommodates a small number of tents, with a kitchen shelter, benches, a water tank, a picnic table, and toilet facilities on hand.

Advance booking is strongly recommended for the peak summer period from December through February and over public holiday weekends.
