Camp Facilities

The former Forestry Service education centre on the reserve was a much enjoyed school camp between the 1970’s and 1990’s, but was closed in 2000.

Since 2017 we’ve completed significant renovations, so that today the camp includes modern kitchen facilities, a cosy lounge area, shower and bathroom blocks, with 14 bunks and tenting area for up to 40. Over the course of 2021 and 2022, we constructed a new 24 person main bunkhouse, bringing total beds in the camp to 38.

In April 2018 we welcomed back the first school camps since 2000, and since then more and more schools have been discovering this unique camp facility and returning year after year.

In 2024 the Trust acquired the use off a 12 seater 4WD van, which is available to groups for shuttling between Oban and the camp.

The Trust welcomes enquiries from schools interested in visiting the reserve or using Mamaku Point as a base for school camps.
