Facilities at camping ground
Sir, — I would like to ask (why there are no hot or cold [showers at the Waipapa Bay (camping ground when, down [the coast at Goose Bay and (Oaro, there are hot and cold [showers, kitchens and even (tubs to wash your clothes in. Surely the money campers spend at Waipapa Bay year after year should be reflected in some improvements when the charges are the same at the other camping grounds? — Yours, etc., A. H. WHITE. ( April 10, 1976. i [The secretary of the Kaikoura Coastal Reserves Board ! (Mr C. R. Gibbons) replies: (“This board also operates [camping grounds at Goose (Bay and Puketa which, until recently, were as poorly [equipped as Waipapa Bay, (and it is conscious of the need for improved facilities |at the latter camp. The board is restricted, however, in the improvements it can effect by the finance available and rather than spread its resources thinly over the three camps, is concentrating on each in turn. At present a redevelopment programme is proceeding at Puketa and, as
soon as the board can see its way clear, improvements will be effected at Waipapa Bay. Planning for this has already commenced. Incidentally, contrary to your correspondent’s assertion, the camping charges at Waipapa Bay are less than those at Goose Bay and Puketa.”]
