Camp Elsdon is a friendly, family camp set in a peaceful native bush area overlooking Porirua Harbour. Wake up to native birds singing in a rural setting within a city.

The Camp is located at the entrance to Colonial Knob Reserve which offers native bush walks/bike tracks (some energetic) to panoramic views of Porirua and its twin harbours, Wellington, Kapiti and the South Island. It is also handy (1 km) to the local Porirua City centre, shopping and amenities and is 1.5 km from Porirua Railway Station.

We are close to State Highway 1 and 20 minutes (18km) from the Picton (Interislander and Blue Bridge) ferries.

We cater for casual or group bookings (20 to 90 plus). Our facilities include a Lodge, dormitories, and campground with campervan and tent sites. Other amenities include a laundry, dump station, field area, ample parking for buses and cars and resident donkey and miniature ponies who enjoy being fed. We can also do pets by special arrangement.

Local attractions include Te Rauparaha Arena and Aquatic centre (with hydro slide/wave machine), Go Karts, ten pin bowling, and miniature golf at Pirates Cove.
