ACCOMMODATION

The Home Bay, Motutapu Island Campsite is by the beach and right next to event base. This wonderful campsite is near the Reid Homestead built in 1901, and various WWII military remains, with 150 non-powered/tent sites, there is plenty of room. Toilets and water facilities available.

Stay the Friday night before the event and/or Saturday night to make the most of your post event celebrations! Available to all participant and supporters. The Department of Conservation's continued support of The DUAL sees all camping fees waived for event weekend.

BEFORE YOU GO!

• Check all your gear for rats, mice and ants.

• Stored away tents and other camping gear provide an ideal place for pests to hide.

• Take extra care if you have Argentine ants where you live.
