The Forest Camp is set in a peaceful location just a 3 minute ride from the thermal holiday resort of Hanmer Springs. Hanmer is conveniently positioned only 2 hours from Christchurch and 4.5 hours from Picton, with a scenic journey offering plenty of great places to stop, stretch, and refresh along the way.
Accommodation at The Forest Camp is also available on Sunday night, giving you the option to stay an extra day to enjoy the stunning alpine surroundings and the world renowned Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools
Booking accommodation for the camp will be found
on your Rally entry form.
Accommodation Options:
We have booked the Big Kitchen/lounge area as a focal point for the Rally and have reserved the cabin units in the Sequoia (shown in Red) and Larch (shown in Green) blocks for accommodation, as they are very close to bathroom facilities. These units contain 2 sets of bunk beds at $80/night for 2 people and $40/night per additional person. Several double bed units are available in these blocks. Bedding packs (sheets, pillow and duvet) $11 for the weekend. Twin bunk huts are also available (shown in Grey) at $64/night for 2 people or $40/night for 1 person.
We invite you to pre-arrange the person/people you would like to share with, and this will be reflected on the registration form. Single bookings will be paired up by us.

There is a wide range of Top 10 Holiday Park, hotel, motel, and holiday home accommodation available in Hanmer Springs, just 3 minutes away.

We look forward to hosting you at the Rally
We have worked hard to find a location and format that helps participants minimise costs and make the Rally as affordable as possible. We are also hoping to arrange riding support for our North Island members travelling from Picton to Hanmer Springs, to help reduce the expense of bringing cars across on the ferry.
We intend to keep all Rally information updated on the Jampot website and in the club magazine.
