Tucked into native bush near Moeraki on the Otago coast, Trotters Gorge is a quiet, family-standard campsite well suited to a relaxed overnight stop. The setting is pretty and sheltered, with non-powered tent sites among the trees and the gentle sound of the nearby stream, which also supplies water.

Basic facilities include non-flush toilets. The campsite connects with two riverside walking tracks, making it a great base for an easy stroll or a longer wander through the gorge.

Access crosses two fords, so it's a spot where a 4WD or higher-clearance vehicle comes in handy. The fords can rise quickly after rain, so keep an eye on the weather and water levels before committing to a stay. A peaceful, scenic choice for campers who enjoy bush surroundings and a bit of riverside walking close to the Otago coastline.
