Naturist Annual Summer Camp
Wednesday 15 to Thursday 23 January 2025


Ngatuhoa Naturally is a group of naturists who gather at an Annual Summer Camp for those who enjoy the naturists lifestyle. You don't need to belong to a naturist organisation, however we reserve to right to reject anyone who does not conform with our rules and standards of behaviour.

It is a week of magic in an idyllic bush setting. Bush walks, Nature trails, Waterfalls, Glow-worms, Petanque, Croquet, Kayaking, Happy hours, Communal dinners, BBQ picnic, etc, or just enjoying the solitude.

Canoes and life jackets are a short stroll away by the safe canal. At the end of each day gather for happy hour, bring your drink and enjoy some finger food to compliment stories and anecdotes.

Ngatuhoa Lodge is a youth camp in the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park native bush south of Tauranga. The Lodge is a restored mill site and has comfortable bunks, a large dining-room with fireplace, and fully equipped kitchen with microwave, gas cookers and ovens.

An outside building houses a barbecue, pantry, and a large walk-in fridge. There is a modern ablution block with hot showers and flush toilets. Electric power is supplied from a small hydro installation nearby.

Accomodation at the lodge in the main building consists of six bunk rooms, some resevered and others on a first come first served basis. Outside there is space for tents, a few mobile homes and campers.

Bring with you all your own food and drink. On Monday evening we fire up the barbecues and ovens to cook the favourite meat you brought in with you to enjoy a communal meal. We supply some crispy chips, peas/salad, gravy, sauces and dessert. BYO wine. Mid week have a barbecue serving BBQ sausages and nibbles, followed with casual sports. Bring your hat, chair, sunscreen and drinks. On Friday night we serve an all inclusive communal roast pork or lamb dinner followed by pavlova and ice cream.

Ngatuhoa Lodge is about 23Km from SH29. The last 9Km is along a private unsealed forestry road that passes through a locked gate, generally in good condition, but with several short steep narrow sections. The road is ok for campers but not caravans.
