Danseys Pass, Oamaru, New Zealand
A true kiwi family camp In the late 1850's, William Dansey extensively explored the rugged mountains inland from Oamaru, including a Pass through the hills from the Waitaki Valley to Ranfurly and Central Otago. Today, Danseys Pass is best known for the Danseys Pass Holiday Park, a peaceful rural camping ground nestled beside the Maerewhenua River. This is the ideal spot for long hot sunny days by the river and peaceful walks among slate-limestone hills and native bush.
